Goalie
I play soccer for my school and I'll admit it is pretty fun. We have two teams. A-Team and B-Team. In other sports normally seventh graders can't play on A-Team, but for soccer we have seventh graders that play on A-Team with the eighth graders. On the team most of the time I play center midfield which is pretty fun. On B-Team I play a variety of different positions. And sometimes I play goalie.
Goalie isn't bad, it can be pretty fun. During a game however, sometimes it can be,well a lot of pressure. Especially on A-Team. And I'll admit I'm not the best. I mess up a lot, and I mean a lot.
There are also one on ones which I hate. In case you don't know what I mean by one on ones I mean when it is just you, and the person on the other team trying to score on you. When you have a one on one you have so many thoughts going on. Whether or not you are going to stop it. What the score will be if they scores. And whether or not your team will be able to come back if they do score.
I also hate the feeling you get when you can't get the ball out of the middle. When everyone is all together in the middle, trying the score and trying to clear it, it is hard to tell where to ball is going to go. And when the other team kicks out of the middle and towards you, you have to be ready.
There also things that I love about goalie. I love the feeling of actually being able to stop a good shot. Diving for the ball is also pretty sweet.
Despite the fact that goalie can be a lot of pressure I still enjoy playing it.

I give you a lot of credit for playing goalie. I've never even played soccer and I really respect the fact that you play soccer and especially the position of goalie. It is awesome that you play goalie and that you can handle the pressure that comes with that position on the soccer field. Way to go!
