A little scoop inside soocer...

There are a ton of different professional soccer players. Just like there are a ton of different professional soccer teams other than the United States team. The question is…does each player get paid the same amount of money? The answer is no! Each player as an individual gets paid differently all depending on how good they are. For example, Ronaldo gets paid around $7.6 million dollars a year while David Beckham gets paid around $10 million a year.
                Soccer is a physical sport. If you’re not in shape, you won’t play right. When you’re tired, the first thing to go is your touch. You’re never going to be perfect at anything and you’re always going to make mistakes. But the only mistake you can really make is if you mess up and just give up. If you make a mistake don’t dwell in it and fix it. For example, if you get juked, don’t stop and hang your head, get back and fight for the ball…don’t leave your team hanging.
                Briana Scurry is one of the many different professional soccer players. She was the goalie for the Women’s U.S soccer team.  One of her famous quotes is...” A champion is someone who does not settle for that day's practice, that day's competition, that day's performance. They are always striving to be better. They don't live in the past.”(http://www.inspirational-quotes-and-quotations.com/famous-soccer-quotes.html) I think what she's trying to say is that if you want to be the best, you can't settle for good, you have to keep trying and pushing yourself everyday.

  1. Hey Samantha. I was wondering if you would be so kind to help out Rachael. She does not have a place to comment on her blog, nor does she have the second post. Could you help her?
