10,000 Hours of Soccer
If I had to spend 10,000 hours mastering one activity, it would have to be soccer. Ever since I could, I have been playing soccer. A lot of people say that I am good at soccer, but I want to be better. My wish someday is to play in the pro leagues, especially in the Barclays Premier League in England, where some of the best teams in the world play. I have always wanted to master the skill moves that some of the best players in the world have done, such as Ronaldinho, the master at skill moves. I want to be a player that everyone remembers, and not for being a bad player who messed up big, but one of the world's best. Here in America, many people won't even know who I am talking about, but outside of America, almost every one will. It's hard to play a sport that the entire world loves except for your own country. My main goal in my soccer career is to play over in Europe for a well known team, like teams in the Barclays, Liga BBVA or even Serie A. These 10,000 hours will help propel my training for my soccer future.
I find it interesting you brought up the fact that soccer is a sport "the entire world loves except for your own country", it makes me wonder why our country is the only country that does not exactly love soccer. It seems like we take pride in our football or hockey teams like how other countries take pride in their soccer teams. However that doesn't seem to affect you and your goals.
