Soccer Practice Makes Perfect By Abby

Soccer Practice Makes Perfect By Abby

Why do I have to get up! Especially right now! I read the clock and said,’’6:10,’’ the reason why I have to get up so early is, I have a soccer game at 9 in the morning. I have to be there at 8. I don't know why we have to be an hour early probably to warm up, but for an hour!? I wish it would be 30 minutes instead. But I’m not the coach, I’m a player. Anyways, I’m trying to get myself awake, but it’s not working. ’’ Want your usual?’’, my mom said. I could tell she was tired.

’’Yeah,’’ my usual is french toast, and if we don’t have that then I have waffles.’’Do we have any french toast left,mom?’’I was praying that we did.

’’No, we don’t’’my mom said.

“Ok, I’ll have waffles, an egg and milk please.’’

While my mom was getting my food ready, I was getting dressed for soccer. My mom said to me last night,’’You are white tomorrow, Abby.’’

I had everything laid out ready to get into. When I was getting on my socks.

’’Ok, breakfast is ready!’’my mom said. I was happy that we could leave cause it’s an hour drive to Aurora. I ate and then went into the car. My mom woke me up, when we got there because I fell asleep. Well, I got out of the car, and let me tell you now, I was tired. I thought I wasn’t going to be good at game time.

I put that aside me, and said to myself,’’Come on Abby, you can do this.’’

Now it was game time.Honestly, I was nervous, just a little bit. Okay, I wasn’t nervous just scared. But when I stepped on the white line, it all went away. We were playing Rapids Select A, and I could just tell by their faces that they are good.The only reason why I say they look good is they have tall players, some of them are taller than my coach. Anyways,we did our chant, ‘’AAAAAAHHHHHH 1..2..3 Arsenal!’’ Before we went on, my coach told my team who is on and off. I’m a striker with my friend Alicyn. I kick a soccer ball with my left foot, and Alicyn kicks a soccer ball with her right foot.

The whistle blew, and I past the ball to Bailey, who is center midi.

I said to Bailey,’’Cross it!’’, and she did so and I kicked the ball so hard, I thought it was going to bop! !SWISH! The ball skinned the net. After that first goal I scored, my team was doing amazing! It was half time and it was 3-1 us.

Alicyn said to me,’’Lets score another one!’’ I could tell she was trying to get me hyper, and so I got a little too hyper and fouled everyone that was in my way.

My coach said to me and my teammates on the bench,’’ A minute left.’’

I said,’’Are we still going to go on?’’, she shook her head no. I was sad, cause I love playing soccer. Sometimes I have a feeling were I could just play soccer all day. The whistle blew, THE GAME IS OVER! Guess what? We won 3-2, they were coming up, but the ball was mostly on their half of the field. We said good game to the other team, and my team went to their parents, and so did I.

My mom said to me with happiness,’’Amazing job Abby! You did awesome!’’

I ask my mom,’’Are we leaving yet? Cause I’m tired.’’

‘’Yes in a second,’’ my mom said. A second turned into 10 minutes, she was talking with my friend Emili, and her mom.



Since I practice at home I did amazing at the game, and in general. When I practice everyday, I get better at it the more I practice. I feel like when I practice I’m a better soccer player.
