We are Now People of Soccer (a Trip of the Parent)

INTRODUCTION
The fans of the east Lecture of the south take their university soccer very seriously. The year in and the year out they take the country, dominating general rates of presence. In 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 the lecture drew the fans of more than 5.5 million to its house games; a national report for a lecture. The soccer Fanatics, you adorned, and they carry the emblem proudly.

I live on the other hand to the fine other of this range. My parents were not sport people and it simply had not left it our structure of family. I do without conviction follows our local teams of sports but only if it was convenient. If the game was on and I arrived to sit in front of the television then big, or if there was a practical radio I can syntoniser. Never in my dreams more wild can I envisioned the trip on which I would embark with my own child.

TYPICAL PARENTS
As most of baby-boom one-the era parents my Stacy of woman and I was determined to expose our children to all can us sports to the music to dance to the theater to although. Follow the tendency intergednedrationnelle, we wanted to allow our childlike these things that we did not have simply available to ourselves as the children. It is stunning changed how much during only some decades. What stressed really this point was a Christmas when Santa brought a Game Boy for Rusee, my oldest child of three; while it sat there plays on the ground the Tortoises of Ninja it looked for to me and asked if I played Game Boy when I was small? What the simple and innocent question says the entire story. The game boy - PS2 - Xbox 360 - Wii, damn, all I had access to was Pong that came on the scene when I was almost eleven years old; my cousin had one if the only time that I could play it was when I went to visit it. I try to explain to my children that the first time that I had access to a computer was in the university. We had to register ourselves to the computer time that was often in the hours small in the morning. They look at me, while sending textos a message to their friend, as if I speak a foreign language. Is even our vocabulary changed; the sending of the textos a correct word?

Growing in the internal city during the last years sixty - early the years seventy the only athletic available organized activities to was me the baseball, the basketball and soccer. The tennis and the golf principally were for these to belong to a country club, the hockey and soccer did not exist simply of the and the occasions for the swimming, the track, fighting and the volleyball was not available until the secondary school. Today the children have the immediate access to the world and the exposition to almost does not import what; the baseball, soccer, the tennis, the basketball, the swimming, the scout, the piano, you name it. I said my children very early that they could participate in does not import what safe soccer and boxing. My woman and I was determined that our children participate in something; that they chose were mostly until the. The risk of chronic injury and equals harsh of soccer is just too high and to pack is the simple just madness. The Fight had Extremity that exists during this time that it also would have been forbidden. All was other the prey raavedee.

WHO KNOWN A?
Jump forward almost ten years. Alex, my child of the environment, returned to instruct a day and said me that it had joined the soccer team, taking me to the devoid one and momentarily mute. It knew the rules, soccer was forbidden access. 'Really, does which dispose'? I asked. I will kick, it explained, assuring me that this is the position more sure on the picture; the botteurs never are injured. I asked then how this came from. The class of gymnasium of Alex was outside on the soccer field where it and little of its buddies, that already were on the team, did one blunders around to kick objectives of field. It is located that Alex jumped them by the amounts, with the comfort, of thirty five yards out if its buddies suggested that it tries for the team; the trainer liked evidently that it saw and Alex became beginning it the interuniversity botteur his superior year.

WE ARE NOW PEOPLE OF SOCCER
The party more ironic of this trip is that before Alex joining the soccer team I had never attended a game of soccer of secondary school also an adult and attended only a handful than a student. Maybe if I had friends on the soccer team when I was in the secondary school or dated a majorette on Fridays games in the evening would have drawn my interest.

For the whole soccer practices secondary school of goals was a new experience for me so naturally I did not have idea which to foresee. I calculated that my family and I would attend the games, look at our son kicks some bullets and appreciates an evening out. My woman jumped on the other hand in with the feet and did not look at in the back. Very first Stacy of game looked at and acted as a mom of soccer of veteran. She carried the traditional red one, the white and the black scarf that post the school colors with the big button pinned trust his chest parades a photograph of his son in his soccer uniform. Number fifteen, that is MY child. The photo button is the official emblem of honor for all the mothers with the children that are members of the team, the various squads of stimulation of crowd and the walking band. It truly is a beautiful view to examine the positions and sees that a wall of moms big photos buttons athletic stressed with red, the white and the black scarves. Simply to put, soccer creates a dependance. There is as much emotional purity implied to this level that you cannot help but are taken in top in all the agitation. I think the reason for this is that the fans are did more invest than to the university or at the professional level; the parameter of secondary school is a lot more intimate one. The parents will encourage evidently for their children without taking account of the level or without taking account of the place, but the true rests of difference with the childlike ones in the positions. They root for the friends that they grew with, the friends of which the birthday parties they attended of the and the divans they slept on. These are the same childlike one that were the laboratory partners in the class of science and were teams mates on the team of entertaining soccer. The childlike ones on the field and the childlike ones in the positions are known literally all their lives. This connection depth on wide such a ladder cannot arrive simply to the university or at the professional level. The childlike ones are raised in the same community is what does the secondary so special school sports and unique.

Time that my children attained the high school my first line when I returned would be the same; "was How the school, you have duties"? Now nevertheless, now that we are the soccer people there is an additional wrinkle. When I speak with Alex that this is, "How was the school, you have duties, how you kicked today"? As I can counsel it if it proclaims that it did not kick well in the practice? The only counsel that I could give that did any direction to all would be to keep your eye on the bullet; how deep and evident totalment. But it was important for me to obtain an advancement report. I wanted to be implied; I needed to be implied, for us are the soccer people now.

DEJA SEEN
My parents lived ten to fifteen minutes of us nevertheless, when our children were small it would take us forty five minutes for everyone to obtain situated for a ten meticulous turns. Attend our games of soccer of the son had for result a similar test. We measuring airplanes of a list of verification of formula, the put to bed, the toys, the snacks, the bottles of juice and again more the clothing to the stadium chairs, the covers, the gloves, the hats, the umbrella and the directions. The a constant one was that someone always had to use the toilet to the last minute just as we were ready go out the door. Something in life transcend the sex - the religion - geography - the nationality - the economical statute - the education and the language; having a race of member of the family to the bathroom just as you are ready to leave the house can be estimated a universal truth.

THE HAT OF PIE OF PORK
When my children were rather old to attend the school I took out and bought a hat of Pie of Pork of black leather that I would carry consciencieuxment to all their exterior events. At first, I wanted to carry a hat of Dr. Seuss but my woman said that I appeared stupid; my childlike ones thought it was funny. The Pie of Pork is a fresh looking at hat that I always carry again today. The principal reason I bought it was if my children easily could find me in a crowd. If we were never separated, just to look for the curious looking at hat. In a baseball sea puts a ceiling on my hat of Pie of Pork jutted out as a painful thumb. It worked well and my children obtained that is used to the idea. As they grew to play older and more begun organized sports they would use the hat easily to find me in the positions. Alex says me it looks for always the hat while being held on the keys. The old habits die strong.

THE NIGHT OF FRIDAY LIGHTS
The being a disciple of the 'Just in the Time' the theory that the parking area already is packed as approach us the stadium, therefore again I am relegated to the expectation in the line to leave my family to the front entry parks then the car. Most of the nights, the parking lot place the closest is a quarter of a mile far that not is a problem unless this is 30 degrees and rain venteuse or pouring. Unfortunately, I obtained for the two to test. As I do my manner to the field I pass a batch of used car a lot of car arranged properly on the grass between the 'No parking Lot on Grass' the signs. The influence range the soccer program has on the application of the local law is impressive. I buy my ticket and calls my woman to discover where she sits. Thank the sky for the portable telephones, without them I cannot find it until the part-time one when the kicked arrives to align for the pretzels, the hot dogs and the important the very toilet.

A game of soccer of secondary school is a Russian mountains of emotion and of agitation of awaits the team to run on the field by the tunnel of majorettes, crashing by the house the banner done - to the spectacle to part-time that presents the two secondary schools that walks of the bands - at the end of the game when the team of entire soccer overflows to the positions in front of the walking band to pay the homage to THE one the other As the band plays the song of fight of the school. I came to realize that this spectacle simply must be tested to be appreciated first hand and to be understood. The electricity and the energy of a game of secondary school in life revitalize. The boys without the shirts, the chests painted all screaming one to their counterparts through the field - the bands opposing that beat in the duel of long one in wide, these childlike ones had the time of their lives and it was easy to be taken in top in their drama. It did me me to wonder that I had lacked when I was in the secondary school; maybe Alex, by the being a part of the team of soccer allows me the occasions I lacked when I was studying? Maybe this is better this manner, as an adult I appreciate it more.

V. I. P.
A dominating team of secondary school brings a fame statute not only to the players but their parents also. All that a sudden people that I had known only in to pass stopped participating in the detailed conversation with me; to the station service, the nutrition store, and coffee. Alex really kicks well of the, the universities approached it nevertheless? Hou there, Alex has a big season I did not know that it could kick as that. The truth is said, I did not know it or? It must have inherited it of his mother. This is a big one to be sensation the parent of an athlete. You cannot help but can jut out your chest with pride when you of others hear in the positions that encourage on your son and your scream of his name. It proved himself to be an experience that I could never have foreseen. I savored every minute. Of more I had the good fortune by the pure chance, to test atypical events to a season of normal soccer like looking at Alex regulated a new report of school while prospering a 48 objectives of field of yard with a second left in the half to help his team wins a Championship of the state that posts an irreproachable one 16-0 records; the moments as these are in fact rare.

INESTIMABLE
Alex said me that the bulk of the season played the game of championship of lecture to the Field of Heinz, the house of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I not can imagine me that it is fresh to play in a professional stadium of soccer, I can say you although as a parent of one of the players, this is an impressive experience to look at. Itself to sit in the positions and looks at your son on this field, kicking on the same earth that the Section of Hines and the field objectives prosper by the same amounts that the Reed of Jeff is surrealist. Etiqueter to the game - $10, soft pretzel with the mustard - $4.50, the hot dog and the drink - $7.50, looking at Alex, bigger than the life on the Gigantic tron, leaving the field pumping his fist after burying a field objective - inestimable.

The game also of impressive as looking at Alex to the Field of Heinz was, the essential one for me came several months later to the east west of Pensylvanie the whole Game of Etoile. When I saw the race of Alex of the tunnel on the field that my jaw has fallen literally. I was stunned, almost was paralyzed splitting transpercement of cold one by my body; I was covered with the goose blows. There it was, as simple as the day spread through the back of the shoulders of my sons; ROMANIA. His name, my name was on the back of his jersey. I was overwhelmed; I never saw my name on the back of a jersey before nevertheless there it looked at fixedly me, me overwhelming of sarcasmes, me enticing. See my name on the back of this jersey was a deep experience. It took me completely to the devoid one; it was phenomenal. Several times during the course of the game that I would look into to recall my just woman that it was fresh to see my name on the back of this jersey.

WHAT A TURN
Who could itself have imagined that kicking the objectives of field in the class of gymnasium for the entertainment would have had for result a such travels magic? Before this season the last game of soccer of secondary school I attended was in 1978 when I was junior. Now, we are the soccer people.

The next stop, the university; I guess Stacy will have another big photo button and a new scarf while I dust the hat of Pie of Pork. Thank you for the turn son!
