Never backdown.

Did you know that tackling someone from behind while sprinting in soccer can cause a red card?

I chose this image as it means more than you can imagine to me, and for multiple reasons. Firstly it represents my passion, and how it doesn’t matter sun nor rain I would still go outside to play and train for my favorite sport in the world, Soccer.  I have taken a few pictures like this in the past, though this one stands out the most due to it showing my progression after me playing soccer all my life.  This photo appeals to me the most for its ability to show and represent so much in one singular photo.  Soccer has been a large and important part of my life, so when something like this can show that and can at times also give a message for example if you want to be the best at what you do you have to truly try and practice day and night, sun or rain.  Basically persistence, especially in sports it can positively affect you emotionally and physically.  It cannot be placed under a price tag, because when you deeply think more about everyday objects like these, they can truly have a deeper meaning like this one.  And what is incredible is that you don’t have to be the best in the world to think deeply and descriptively think about a photo like this.  You just need to put your mind to it write your ideas that come to your head that makes sense and it can end up being something you never thought you could do in the past.  I would want this photo to be a solid piece of work and to be a reminder of me to never be a couch potato and always go outside to train when there is a chance after all other responsibilities are finished to enhance my skills and be the best at what I do.  If I was to sum it all up in a few sentences I would say that giving up should never be an option and when I took this photo I kept it, I didn’t trash it.  Because though its not some antique or old ancient piece, I can still use it a times when I need a little bit of motivation and spirit to play well and remember how I do at practices to apply the same in games and in the end, Win.
