For the second semester of 12th grade the action I partook in were SAISA Football practices. I knew I lacked the skills to play any of the positions on the field, skills I was eager to improve on and attain new skills therefore I decided to try out for the position of Goalie. I understood my strength as a goalie due to my tennis background and even the coach realized my strength would be for this position. As a newbie the only way I knew I could improve and make the team was by working with the others on the team collaboratively and improve on my skills. The biggest obstacle of the training was trying to gain the skills necessary in a short period of time, where as the others had played this sport for a long time and these practices were almost a touch up on their skills. I tried my best and worked hard during the practices diligently and constantly.
One skill I am proud I developed during my practices was my ability to dive and defend, it’s a small skill but I really liked being able to anticipate and react to the kicks of the players. Unfortunately I had to quit the SAISA football as SAISA and most of my college interviews were during the same week and I had to make a decision based on this. I am glad however glad I engaged in a new activity and moved out of my comfort zone, it truly was a rewarding experience.
