When I think about the soccer team I had for a short time this year I think of them as a family. We all had certain roles to play and we all got along. If we lost we didn't get attitudes or get mad at each other but we talked about what we needed to work on in practice the next day. I feel sad that I left them because I wanted to be someone the new freshman could look up to. I had been in their position once before and knew what it felt like to be new and to not know your place on the team. I know they think they need me to make the team but really they don't. One person doesn't make a team no matter how good of a player. A team is made up of a group of people who get along and who want the same goal. I know I said in the beginning of summer that I wouldn't give up on soccer but I don't think I've loved the game since I played for Mentor. I don't know what happened over the past six years but I fell out of love with the game. It could have been the girls I played with or something else but I'll never know. I know for a fact that the girls are going to be fine without me but I'll always miss playing with them. Good luck this year girls and I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!
Once a Lion always a Lion!
