Lately I’ve been looking at people’s blogs, mostly the ones that have to do with soccer and I’ve noticed that a lot of people have made a good point towards it such as Camille. In her website she points out how hard it is to explain your passion and I totally agree with her. For me soccer is magic because when you have the ball there are so many options and when you for example perform a hard trick you feel accomplished, for example in fifth grade I wasn’t really good at soccer and I was in a soccer class on Saturday and they thought a trick which many of you may know, the 360 roulette created originally by Zidane. The first time I tried it did not work and after about a month I finally got it and when I got right you know it felt amazing that sense of accomplishment is just impossible to explain with words, but when it happens in any sport its amazing wether its making a hole in 1 or a half-court shot, or even the simplest thing, trust me when I say the feeling is amazing. This may be hard to believe but I prefer playing soccer in recess sometimes than in a game obviously because there less pressure and more room to have fun and to try new things which is fun. Many people might not figure out there passion but when it happens it amazing and it fills you with joy and even though your good at that sport you feel something for it that is so pure and  beautiful. Today in sports we have kind of lost the essence in it teams move from town to town just looking for more money and so do players. There is term in Brazil that a lot of people know towards sport which is love to your teams shirt or as Brazilians call it “amor a camisa”. What it means is that you don’t sell yourself to other teams for money, you stay in your team because you love it and there are very few examples of it such as Pele, who played in Santos and could have made millions if he accepted deals to go to Milan or Madrid but he didn’t and he is a true example of love for your team. Soccer for me as I said is inexplicable when your there as player and hear your crowd screaming you just feel lifted even if it is the worst of siuations, for examole Liverpool were losing 3-0 to AC Milan but in 5 minutes they made it 3-3 and in penalties they won. What an amazing game and this is the kind of inspiration that lifts you up and sweeps you of the floor and in a snap amazing happens, like in that game. This passion is amazing and these kinds of situations are the ones that test your passion and when if you pass the test you will figure out that you really do love that passion.
