KICK FOR THE GOAL ⚽⚽⚽

I started playing football when I was 11 years old. But before that, my father want me to play basketball. It was nice playing basketball but i do not fit in that game.

Here comes football, which was introduce to me by my friend. We always play and then I found out that I was good in it. So I trained to play football for almost 5 years.

Playing football gives me strenght and teach me the right discipline that I have to apply in my self. In playing football you have to consider the place if this is suited for the said sport.

This is my Team (teachers) "CALABARZON" TEAM. We are playing football twice a month. Our coach assigned some of them to officiate during the game.

With my team, I learned so many things about playing, strategizing even the tactics and faking. Before, I thought my knowledge in playing football is enough, but after joining in this team, my learning in football continuesly growing.

I am proud to have an energetic, enthusiast and well disciplined coach who is always there to guide us, train us and most of all he is not only a coach for me but also a friend and father. He always gave me a tips and taught me different fakes and tactics when im dribbling a ball in my feet.

He is sometimes strict but I always put in my mind that this is his way to discipline us and learned from our mistakes.

He allows us to show our strength and agility in playing football, but after the play , he gives his comments and suggestions how we will improve our moves and strategies.

And now...I formed my own team in our school. I have a girls and boys team. The "BNC WARRIORS". I applied all my learnings and knowldege from my CALABARZON team to BNC WARRIORS team.

I saw in these students the fire and passion in football. They are willing to sacrifice their time after school hours. We are playing andpractice football at UPLB (University of the Philippines Los Baños). I assured that they are balancing the academics and sports.

Before we start our play/practice. They have to start it with a proper warm up to be ready in playing football.

I am happy that this is my sport. I learned so many things. For me life is like a football, you have to tackle your problems, block your fears and hit the opportunities for your goal.
