When I told my parents I wanted to play soccer, I had to get used to having a coach. I had been doing a soccer intramurals for three years to help get me started. The coach saw me using skills above my level, so he told me to try out for a higher-level program called Academy. I was thrilled, and so were my parents, and I went to the tryouts the next day. Since it was my first time and there were a lot of other good players, I was put on the C team. There were A, B and C teams.
