Personal Rituals
The felling before a soccer game
Well soccer is my life so here I am telling you my ritual before a soccer game. First I arrived to the field seat down put my soccer socks , then I fell the texture of my soccer shoes screaming me so I wear them. Then I take out my templates out of my bag, I put them inside the soccer shoes and then it all begins, the nervous start to show up , you think, in front of all these people watching me with my red uniform, red socks and purple shoes. I can’t make a mistake here so I start thinking I can do these I am capable of doing anything I want, so that’s the motivation I have before a soccer game. Then you start walking across the field to your lockers in where you leave your stuff before a game, then you enter the room open the wood door of lockers and there you see, standing in a bench, watching you with that eye contact that scares you, that influence is called the coach his name is Juan Manuel Funes one of the best trainers ever had, one of those reasons is because he push me to do the best of me in every training and every game I had played. Then the chatting starts, our coach starts talking, everyone anxious of knowing what position we will play and defend it like it was the last game of our life. Then he starts giving a wonderful speech that makes us fight our place and do our best in those games, he always said please GOD make both teams do well in this game please don’t let anyone of these two teams heart themselves playing this wonderful game call soccer thanks. Then believe me that all the adrenaline starts passing all your body and you said to yourself I can do it, I can make all my friends and family happy by doing the best I can in these game. For example I pray before a game and always said God please help me do my best, please help to don’t heart myself and make my coach and soccer friends also family happy and proud of me.
After all of the chatting and prying ends the real thing begins, the soccer game is about to start, felling nervous I touch the grass and I said to GOD I leave my game in your hands. Then all my friends wearing blue, white and purple shoes said to me: come on we can win this thing, we can make it let’s pass the ball a lot so the other team starts to feel very tired so it’s easier for us to win. Then we all said good game my friends let’s play, very anxious waiting for the referee to blow with all the breath he has the whistle and said let’s play boys, in that moment my heart starts beating faster my chest feels like pushed and I take a big breath and start playing, every time I have to be two inches around at the rivals player so he doesn’t scores. Then the show begins we start passing the ball , in that moment we know we will score at least three goals at the first half. When that moment arrives , when the game is difficult to win and the goal comes everything becomes super crazy all the team members join together and jog themselves to congrat the one that scores but in that moment is unforgettable when you know that we scored like a team is a feeling I can’t explain in words , it’s the best feeling ever because we do it together and we know all people is happy and grateful about the goal. After the game ends win or lose we shake hands with the other team each by each we said good game and we go to lockers to celebrate if we won if we didn’t won we talk about our mistakes and it is a very useful thing because you know in what you were wrong and you can correct those errors to be a better player in your like inside and outside the field.
