I LOVE FOOTBALL

     I LOVE FOOTBALL BECAUSE…

You don’t need to read this ‘personal’ essay. It’s just an essay you can move on to the next ones or my partner Agastya’s writing. But read it if you want to know about the relationship between football and me. Or if you want to hear an inspirational essay. Or you want to understand the feeling of loving football. I bet some of you don’t like or follow football but I am a hard-core football fan and I doubt it. Ok, so if you are I believe you have planned to read it. Have you ever wanted to know why am I influenced by football in a positive way? I believe it’s my pink brain that is controlling it or it’s my heart that wants me to be influenced to it. Again it is counted in a positive way. Now this should be kept private between us, this might sound funny but I have made lines written for this essay. “ Football is the game that keeps me alive. Football lives deep within my soul. Football is one of my lifelines. Football is my second true love. I guess the last one is too much.” told by Aryan Kamdar. This game is something that guides me to success. The reasons I love football are: It helps me build my confidence, teamwork is included and it releases stress. It even helps me focus and remove my aggression.

Football helps me to be stress free and helps me focus. Well you won’t believe it but it works. It helps me focus. I will give you a hint, you need to try and figure it out. Football lives deep within me. Now take a minute and think about it. Once you are done, go to the comments page in the end and write what you think. Ok, now comes the answer, all I am trying to convey is that there is one thing you are very passionate about and that’s what you take interest in doing. For example: I am passionate about football, Darsh is about studies, Kavin about assassination and Ishanvi about modeling. So you are ready to get up early and practice these things before school starts. If it's something you don’t like then you don’t actually do it properly. This even helps in focusing on other things. For example I was nervous about my exams and I played football, it released my stress. But there is a risk too; you have no clue what’s going to happen. Maybe a fail in the exam or you get less then you can even get. If I were you I would have taken that risk cause at least it doesn’t put any pressure on you.

Football is  fun because it is where you have a team who helps you become an awesome player. It’s not like swimming or tennis where you have to be quite and play it. When I play football I get a sense of joy and happiness in my body. Football is a huge type of support to me when it comes to times of owning someone. I used to be ok when I joined Inventure but now I am one of the best in 7^th grade and in my age group in Bangalore. When we go for tournaments there’s a lot of pressure, especially against Greenwood High. They are our rivals. This is like Barcelona vs Real Madrid or Manchester United vs Manchester City. I don’t know how but Inventure is not allowed to go for Greenwood’s tournaments and they are not allowed to come for ours. It’s like a challenge because they have got a good team. They got a formation of Suman, Shubham and Siddharth (SSS). We got a formation (MSK) or of Malvi, Shaunak, Kamdar (me).

Finally we came to the third and final reason to my life. Everyone thinks I am good at it (Football). I am guessing that you wont believe me but I have got proof as my back up. This might be fun because I have a lot of instances to tell you about. Once when Rohan and I were training he told me that we both were the best in football. Ok, now this one is going to be long because it’s an instance from the outbound trip. So Shaunak and Advit were fighting and I interfered because shaunak does boast that is the best in football. He pulled me aside and told me that we both are the best in the grade so there is something we can boast about and that we shouldn’t fight. Darsh told me that I was amazing in football and that I don’t need others to tell me that I am a bad footballer. The last example is of Ishanvi, who thinks I am the best in the grade because I have got swag while I play. She even told me that I was the best and should never give up in football even if you mess up once or twice. Now that’s something that gives me a boost of confidence. My confidence level rises when I play near these people.

I realize that when I feel distressed or lonely, football is my only medicine. It’s the only thing in the world that can cure me. Some people play it just like it’s a job and they are forced to play it. I am different though; I play with interest where I risk everything. I hope you enjoyed my life story. Its how I want to live my life. “I was born on the field, I am living on the field and I will die on the field.”I know it’s copied from the legend Ronaldinho but it’s my favorite dialogue.
