I had a conversation just the other day that left me tingling. You’ve heard about ‘The Zone’? Well for hours I was emotionally on fire, wild eyed and ready for more- in The Zone! I was energized and my brain was buzzing! If an asteroid had burst through the clouds speeding toward earth’s certain destruction, I could have saved humanity and redirected it all by myself! I was fired up! Wouldn't you would like to know what kind of conversation this was!? Who was it with? What would you imagine
Let me tell you why im awesome. I’m awesome because I’m athletic. I’m a great team-mate and I also run fast.

People always describe soccer with a culture of passionate and active. After watching the video of Heysel tragedy (Lecture Video Week 3), I start doubting the other side of soccer culture. In this week reading, we were asked to read a novel of a story about how the author himself become crazy soccer fans in decades. The more I read, the more I feel the soccer culture has it aggressive and dominant elements. It will bite you badly when you lose your guard and embrace it. Here is a quotation from the
Soccer in the United States has consistently taken a back seat to sports such as football, basketball, or baseball until today. Soccer was a sport that never gained traction in the United States until recently, and this is likely due to the American public who never appears to support a sport/club unless they show signs of success in competition. Unfortunately, one of the downsides of the American public only caring about the winners, is that even though soccer has existed in America for so long

? Well I have experienced both it’s a terrible feeling and in my eyes it’s considered a failure to let down your team. How, I let down my team and myself is quite simple and here is how I hurt my knee, but first i'm going to tell you a little about soccer, why I played it, and then i'm going to explain how I hurt it and how it’s a failure to me and how did it affect me.

A Soccer Ball and a Girl One club season I would get piercing shin guard burns. I tried creams, shin guard covers, ice, new shin guards, everything! Nothing would help from the blistering, peeling burns on my shins. Any time I would shift leg positions it felt like bees were stinging my shins.

In the field I am only thinking about the ball and making a goal. That is a discourse community I can identify myself being a part of. What is a discourse community you may ask? A discourse community is a familiar community you engage on the daily or feel connected because you are a member. Through my high school years, I was labeled a soccer player. I played for three years straight. Being an athlete isn’t like the movies, when the jocks and any athlete can get easy A’s or not turn in their homework
