Throughout my life I have played soccer. Soccer has kept me from getting into trouble on the streets. It keeps me grounded and disciplined. It helps me with my time management. Most importantly, there is nothing like that accomplished feeling you get when you have a team of brothers who you know will always be by your side.
With most children and young adults, sports are a key aspect in one’s life that keeps the person away from violence and danger. This team atmosphere is what builds high self-esteem. The encouragement from your teammates is the best kind of encouragement because it makes you feel accomplished and ready to take on any obstacles. The sense of belongingness is fulfilled because you do belong; you belong to a group that is all striving for a common goal. Each person has their role, or their responsibility, to fulfill in order for the team to succeed. The feeling of accomplishing your goal is a natural high; and the best feeling of all is walking off that field dead tired, but with your head held high knowing that you did your best.
