Soccer is my Passion, What are you Passionate About?!?!

It was all smiles after I scored a goal for my team.
You hear people all the time say do what you are passionate about.  Do what makes you happy.  When are you at your best?  As a woman in my twenties I can happily tell you I am at my best when I am playing a sport, most notably soccer!!!

Most people have heard of ADIDAS, but do you know what it really stands for?  All Day I Dream About Soccer, this is true for athletes all over the world.  Here in North East Atlanta on any given night is no different.  All different types of players from semi pro to recreational players to youngsters just trying to have a good time.

For the last couple games we were not doing the best. But tonight, as you can see from my smile, we were winning for a change.  We were up 4-0 at half and people said we can't let up because about two or three weeks ago we were in the same position and we ended up losing 4-5.  So I told everyone, it's like running a marathon, you have to try to play harder the second half just like you run faster the second half of a marathon.  It's called negative splits, in running.

Well the second half started and we scored a couple of goals, just like I had hoped.  But then they scored and started to look like they were having a come back, but then we scored.  The game ended up being 9-4 with our team winning.  It was the best possible outcome we could hope for during a game.  I will say the other team was very aggressive and made things difficult for us.  One thing that helped us is we had a couple girl goals and they count for two when their goals were all guy goals, only worth one. Life is rough.

So that was my night, soccer with my team, sponsored by Nagravision.  Thanks everyone for coming out!

  1. Are you on a team with guys? (I see some in the photo). That's awesome that you play a team sport as a grown up! I am well past my 20s now and my passion is watching my daughters dance. They compete quite a bit and are both beautiful dancers.

  2. Yes it is a co-ed league and I love it, I'm sure once I have my own children my priorities will change :) but for now I like it for me. Some parents bring their children sometimes. I use to do jazz and loved it!! Soccer was my true passion though.
