Win Aung 2/03/2017 WRTG 900 Benefits of Soccer Soccer is great for several reasons: to expand feelings with friends, as well as to learn discipline, and to improving fitness. One of the ways that you could improve friendships is by making new friends from different cultures in a team or outside a team and learn their names. Soccer players would run a drill, drills are warm ups they would do, before practices. One way to learn names is by shaking each other's hands, when the drill is over. Soccer players would greet each other. Then they would hang out as a team to practice or to a game. Another way to make friends is by respecting others. For example, during a soccer tournament or playing against any team, if there is an injury, players in the field would kneel until the injured one got carried out of the field, then we will start playing. After the game, they would shake hand and hug. Soccer is a very positive emotional sport. When you score a goal, you will be so happy, and others will be happy for you as well. When you hear the cheering all around you. It makes you want to show off more, at the same time, makes you want to do better so you can show them what you could do the next time you're on the field. It also makes you believe in yourself that you could almost beat any team that will come against you. Discipline is huge in soccer culture. We learn how to work as a team, which means we would all show up earlier than the time the coach expected. Also, to work as a team means we will have one or two people who lead the team, we called them a "Captain." Another thing about disciplines is we need to dress properly. We would need to bring shoes, shin guards, shirts and pants for the right weather and for protection. For instance, we would practice together, while running and trying to get a ball from each other, accidents could happen. Therefore, shin guards are important in soccer culture. Soccer is very affective for health as well as improving fitness. It is great because you run a lot once you are on the field, or outside the field. For example, when you have the ball you would carry it toward the opponent's side, you would pass the ball to your teammates, until you score a goal. Additionally, once you pass the ball around and the opponents catch the ball, then you would chase the opponents that has it, while your teammates defend your opponent's.
