My Family
Soccer is really important in my family. Mostly everybody in my family plays or has played soccer. I have played soccer since I was 6 years old. I still remember that day. It was at the YMCA when after one of my first games the coach came up to me and talked to me. I remember that exact words “Jonathan? Hi I’m one of the coaches here and I just want to say that you played outstanding. You’re not a ball hog you like to past the ball with your teammates, you make the plays, and most of all you never quit” those words really helped me not to quit at anything. The most important inspiration now is my team mates. They always push me to make me give my 110% at everything. They are not only my team mates they are my family. They became very important to me and will stay like that for the rest of my life.
