I have been playing soccer since I was at the age of six. Over the time, I learned so many skillful attributes that are not only helpful for the team but also have been useful in my life. The soccer community enabled me to practice great work ethic, a closer bond between my teammates, and valuable life skills. I can bring these attributes to strengthen the Deerfield community.
Playing soccer developed various attributes such as concentration, focus, dealing with failures and success, perseverance, confidence, teamwork, active lifestyle, balancing time between sports and academics. All these things made me a well-rounded candidate to deal with everyday life challenges.
My soccer community helped bring up the overall teamwork by having our own group chat and being close to each other more than just a team that sees each other 4 times a week. My Valeo soccer community sharpened my skills by always pushing me to the fullest. The accomplishments I have had is when my team Valeo PSG won the NEFC tournament twice and ranked first in the state of Massachusetts. I am so proud to say that my team made it to the quarterfinals in Barcelona, Spain tournament called Iber cup. All these things boosted me and my team’s overall confidence. I can bring this confidence to Deerfield Academy to contribute and grow with the environment.
Winning or losing is part of the game and life. We never castigated the teammates for the mistakes and failures. We continue to learn from the failures and work hard as a team for success. These qualities made our team to be ranked first in the state and we work hard to retain that position.
Soccer also taught me self-discipline that I use in everyday life. Some of the soccer fields are about 2 hrs drive from my house. In addition, games are scheduled in the morning with 45 minutes warm up before the game. I get up early in the morning, get ready and show up on time for the warm-up

Soccer also taught me self-discipline that I use in everyday life. Some of the soccer fields are about 2 hrs drive from my house. In addition, games are scheduled in the morning with 45 minutes warm up before the game. I get up early in the morning, get ready and show up on time for the warm-up followed by a game. In the same manner, for exams, I get up earlier, get my checklists reviewed and be there in the exam center in advance to prevent the last minute rush.
Soccer community taught me a ‘Unity in Diversity’. Our team is made up of people that come from different backgrounds. However, that doesn’t matter because we are a team and we accept one another and their positions in the field.
I have been an offensive-minded player since my beginning of the soccer time. Being an offensive player, I have scored an ample number of goals at the required times for my team. My number #1 ranked NPL club team lost many defensive players that I truly cared. The team badly needed a defensive player to defend the team and to retain the ranking. Based on the team’s need, the coach asked to play a position where I never played before. Defense!!!! I got so scared that my heart almost missed a beat. The first time, when the coach asked me, I was uncomfortable and nervous, but being a team player that I am I did it, and I did it to help the team out. I have started this season as a defensive player for the first time in my life. The season is just over. You know what? My team is still ranked #1. I feel I am fully satisfied as I did my part well for the team, though the defense was not my strongest and favorite position. This boosted my overall faith in myself when dealing with any uncomfortable but required task. The confidence I learned from that instance was that if I work hard and face my fears I will be just fine to handle any given task. One of the important skills I have been looking to improve is my public speaking skills. I will definitely use this technique and hard work in Deerfield to get better at it.
We lost players that I truly cared about and I had to welcome and be a leader to new players coming in. That’s an emotional experience for anyone to go through and true life skills I have been getting from the soccer community. I expect such situation in Deerfield Academy to handle and help juniors.
Overall, my experience in the soccer community enabled me to become a better person. The attributes I have gathered from soccer helped often in the other aspects of my everyday life. I will bring such attributes to Deerfield Academy to achieve success in academics and sports teams, create meaningful friendships and attain better social and everyday skills.
