For fifteen years I have been devoted to the sport, but can still barely tackle or shoot. I decided to get a coach and give him the challenge of a lifetime If I told you I have played football for 15 years, you’d probably assume that I’m decent.
Unfortunately, I am not. I have three left feet and a not-very-convincing shot on goal.
Despite how many years I have put into the sport, these things show little to no improvement. I play football for the joy of it: the rush of the first whistle; the exhilaration of making a successful tackle or a clever pass; and the feeling of all fears and concerns melting away the moment the game starts.
