My dad was a professional soccer player that was gonna play internationally if he didn’t get an injury that ended his career.

I grew up disliking soccer and played basketball instead.

And this was my biggest regret of my life.

At 6 grade I started To like soccer because I met new friends that played soccer and I started playing with them.

I quickly became better then all of them because of my dads genetics carrying me.

later on I joined a club and played for a year and played for my middle school team.

couple of years later I decided to take online school for high school instead then a year goes by and I now transferring to a onsite school.

And I did play soccer after middile school but not a lot and because of my lack of discipline and lack of training I’m not as good anymore.

I was the only one in my family with 6 siblings that was athletic as me.

My dad loved me for that as he knew that I would be great one day.

And now here I am I got cut from my high school soccer team because I had an injury that made me fail try outs.

I’m sure I would’ve gotten into the team but knowing that I didn’t because of 3 days of try outs I had a lot of bruises due to me falling of my e bike.

I’m thinking about hanging up the sport which I really love because I don’t think I’ll ever be good enough like my dad.

It haunts me everyday because I was the son my dad wanted an athletic one all my other siblings played sports as a hobby never joined a single soccer team.

I let talent play for me my whole life I rarely trained and surpassed kids that played the sport their whole life.

And I let that get into my head to much so now I barely try.
