Passion for two sports

| | Comments (1)

I am one of those athletes that will have to choose between two fall sports next year due to the move of girls' soccer to the fall season. I would just like to defend that I am making the most reasonable choice for me between soccer and volleyball. At 5'3", I have determined my chances of playing college volleyball are slim, considering while watching a match recently the announcer informed the viewers that 5'9" is deemed short for the sport. As a soccer player for over ten years, I've devoted much of my time to that particular sport. Soccer is also the only sport for which I have been contacted about by college scouts. So, my choice for next year is soccer. However, just because I picked soccer doesn't mean I have to stop liking volleyball. In fact, I love volleyball. Even though I chose to direct my focus to another sport I love, doesn't mean I'll stop playing. I apologize if that is a problem for anyone, and I don't mind if I am turned away from every team I ever try to play with. I will always enjoy the sport. No coach, player, manager, or anyone else can ever take that away from me.

This is a great rant. I usually don't comment on the blogs I read, but I thought it was really strong and from the heart. I'm glad to see teens are so passionate about the things they do. I believe you are one girl that will go far. This passage really spoke to me. Keep following your heart!
