I read an article about soccer and I really enjoyed it because now I know that soccer is good to get fun, also it instills work ethic into its players, a skill that is very important in life. Soccer players know the importance of a leadership so some of them become leaders. They also know that they have to be perseverant to achieve what they want and finally they develop social skills. That is why I think soccer is a sport that helps a lot, not only with health, but also mentally. Although it is a beautiful sport, there are some people who don’t understand the real meaning of it, so they make actions that make soccer a violent sport. In my opinion we have to enjoy soccer in a good way, avoiding those bad aspects of it because it is a passion for everyone.
