Steem Venezuela Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 3 Week 3: Conoce mi Lado Deportivo/ Meet my Sporty Side
designed in canva
Hello my fellow steeminas, it is the 3 weeks of the engagement challenge, today I will be participating in the steem Venezuela community. In this contest, we are asked show our sporty side.
When we talk about sport, there are different types of sports, we have football, baseball, volleyball, basketball, and many others that are interesting to participate in.
As a son of a football lover, it is understanding to know that as a kid whatever we often see is what we want to become, when you talk about sport in the family, and our environment, you can only see football. I grew up beings a football lover as a result of the acceptance of that sport in the environment and also at home, for the love of football in the house my dad and I watched Nigeria Olympics match scheduled at midnight, we had an electricity problem but then that didn't still stop us from watching the match as my dad used his car battery as a source of power to light our black and white television😁.
So this example can say a lot about our passion for sport but football precisely, but unfortunately, my younger ones never went deep into soccer, my second wasn't into any sport at all but my third loves watching football but practices as a boxer. None was like me and my dad we were very passionate about soccer.
Growing up, I could only participate in soccer games, in my environment, football was our thing, every day we play football, and at weekend we play in the morning and evening. So it is inevitable not to love this game
When I was of age, I joined my first team where I train and play with them, my kits were bought by my dad, and for every match we played my dad will always come to watch my performance.
In school I represent my school against other schools during tournaments or inter school sport, I remember our best player at them his name was GBOLAHAN, he plays as a midfielder and I play as a right winger which I still do till now but with a little experience as a striker.
Currently, I play for my town team where I reside, we play as a team and we are sponsored by the king of the town, we train every evening on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturday mornings.
We have participated in several, league game competitions, tournaments, and some gala games, in some of these events we lose, and in some, we emerge as the winner.

Soccer is a game I will play till I can't anymore, currently, I still train and play like a professional, I would have loved to be a professional but I don't want to risk my career on something that is not certain, here in Nigeria, you can't be selected for a national screening without paying some people a huge amount and that doesn't mean you will be picked to represent the country.

Greetings
I love playing football but I never enjoyed watching it. .. in Nigeria soccer is not always beneficial when practicing it
Of course you get my point for not going professional, but watch more closer, football is interesting in both ways either you watch or you play.
True...
Saludos hermano..
Que bueno que tu llevas el amor y pasión por el deporte que tu papá también práctico como es el fútbol, que además te demostró de gran manera porque conectar la batería del carro para poder ver un partido solo demuestra que por lo que se quiere se puede, lastima que sea algo difícil poder alcanzar ser un profesional en tu país Nigeria y es extraño eso porque es un país netamente futbolero dónde deberían haber muchas escuelas.
Excelente trabajo y ojalá Dios te muchos años de vida y salud para que sigas disfrutando de tu pasión.
Thanks for your constructive comment, soccer is in the family
Hola amigo! Gracias por la invitación!!
Admirable como amas el fútbol, desde chico! Se ve la pasión por deporte favorito! Lamentable que no lo puedas ejercer profesionalmente esto también se vive en mi país Venezuela, tengo un primito que es exelente jugando pero no tiene los recursos económico para pagar esa cantidad que exigen algunos representantes y eso tronca el sueño de muchos! Pero sigue adelante con tu deporte!!
Bendiciones y muchos éxitos amigo! 🤗
Of cours, since it's what I love, and have passion for, sometimes it's not for the money, although the money will come along but it's the passion first, which is why I still practice soccer till now
Thanks for sharing
greetings friend.
How much passion do you feel for soccer, I love baseball the same
It is a pity that due to so many limitations you have not been able to play it professionally.
thanks for the invitation. I wish you the best of luck
Thanks for your comment, I bear baseball is very interesting too, I only get to see it on tv, as such as I love soccer, I would love to try other sport too, and base ball could be one of them.
Friend saw that your passion for soccer is really great, it's a shame that you can't judge professionally because you're right to reach that level you have to invest a lot of money, the good thing is that you keep practicing your sport continuously, even if your children don't practice soccer at least if they like the sport.
Thank you for participating in our contest!!
good luck in the future!!
Thanks for the review, time wasn't on my side, I was in a rush to submit before the deadline, and as such, I forgot to set the 25% null, actually am just seeing it now.
Greetings friend @olabillions
Soccer is a beautiful sport, perhaps the most loved sport worldwide, it is always exciting to be part of a formal team either in our community or university. I'm glad you enjoy playing soccer very much.
Thank you for your participation.
Thank for your comment, I think it is the most loved throughout the world, and practicing it is give me joy and energy, it also keeps me for always
Hahha
Like not loving what you practice, soccer is a sport that helps to exercise the legs, since it requires a lot of energy.
Greetings.
Yes, it requires a lot of energy, but with continuity, it becomes as easy as you see on tv
As a child I liked soccer a lot, unfortunately I couldn't stand out. It is a sport that I would like to practice sometime. Much success friend!
Oh my, it's great too, we can't have everything within our reach, you have hiking which I love but I can't do and I do soccer which you can't,
This is life
Thanks for your comment
Infact your dressing has already speak for yourself that you are a good footballer.
Is GBOLAHAN still playing football? I so much love football but not to be compared to the love that I have for basketball. In football one easily get tire and the foul play is too much. I remembered backed then as a child when I was playing football with my friends what we normally do it to always leave the ball and kick our opponent on the leg if we can't collect the ball.
Indeed I still love the game. Thank you so much for sharing your sports view with us am indeed interested with your write-up. Best of luck to you.
Thank you very much for your comment, indeed I A baller,
Yes but not professionally, only a few of us are aiming to become a professional and they are still not successful in the aspect, we have taught about the future and we come to a conclusion that, we can't go further but some of us risked it and today they are still on the grind to become professionals, soccer is interesting but the people behind scouting and all that are not faithful to the sport, money is the factor they care about, your talent cant get you the national spot
Thanks for your comment, reason why I can't play bb again is that, my first experience with the game I had an incident. How? A pass from a bballer dislocated my wrist, it had to be bandage, since them I never participated in bb again
Football is a wonderful sport that most people love watching, it is a very good exercise that improve heart health, increase one stamina, reduced body fat and many more. Playing 4 times a week so how passionate you are about soccer. Thank you for sharing.
Haha am still lacking, some play every day and the result is always make them outstanding in matches
Thanks for your feedback
You are welcome
