Soccer Team Essays - FIFA 100, Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Down

Landon Donovan down the sideline he goes looking for a pass. There?s the opening to Kei Kamara down the left side. Donovan hooks it, Kamara sprinting toward the center and jumps; his head hits the ball toward the top left corner of the goal. Sailing, Sailing and it?s good! Goal by Kamara, assisted by Donovan; what a play by these two working together. This is what it is about working together as team to get the job done. What does it take to get the job done? Well, it all boils down to dedication, hard work and unity of a team. How does this make a good soccer team? It does not only pertain to soccer but any team as a matter of fact. Dedication is the state of doing what it takes to succeed. If you are dedicated to playing a sport you don?t give up or even think about that. You might say ?hey, what do I need to do to get better.? Possibly, go up to your coach and see what they say you need to do. This is what people in the real world do for their jobs. Like a college student really wanting to get into med school; they will do everything they can to do just that and have little time for anything else. So being dedicated is a key to success as a team for if you get everyone dedicated to the sport then everyone wants to get better leaving the team to only succeed in the long run. Hard work is the will to train yourself to overcome barriers. When at practice what are you going to do? Go through the motions be like that is good enough for me, I don?t want to work. Possibly, you will be out there ready to go whenever you are in a drill or switching to another drill. Maybe this means that you will do whatever you need to do to fulfill your job on the field.

Would you want your doctors? and nurses? to work separately and not talk to each other, or would you like for them to all work together and make you better. You are part of the team so become one unit and help each other out. The people on your team are like your brothers and sisters take care of each other. When you have this going on you are a unit or some people would call the team a family. I put Sporting Kansas City to this test of dedication, hard work and unity as a team. They put forth the hard work, they have the dedication and they work as a unit moving up and down the field. To see that this goes for any type of team I also put the Highland Rugby team through the test. I get the same results as I did for Sporting Kansas City. You see this goes for any team as well as for going on through life. So now will you go out and make something of yourself by overcoming obstacles, being dedicated to your work and work as a unit to accomplish your goals. Ten seconds remain in the game; we have a goal kick being taken by Jimmy Nielson. He kicks it to the right side Fernando Torres gets the ball and turns it up field. Dribbling down the side line he could go all the way. No, he slows down by the goal line looks to the middle and sees Cristiano Ronaldo setting up in the middle waiting for the shot by Torres. Torres sends the ball sailing to the center of the penalty box; where Ronaldo throwing his body into the air, now extending his leg up and out. The ball meets his foot sailing toward
