It's got to be football for me.
I have always loved the round leather object since I was little. It's a sport where I get to showcase my abilities. For me, football has always been a way of unwinding, alllowing nature to take its course through me.
I can't exactly say why I love playing football but it's been something I've been doing since I was probably four or five.
I remember growing as a kid. I used to play football from afternoon when I returned from school till late in the evening. My mates always loved me playing with them because of the skills I had and I never got tired.
Even if there were sets of people and I had played in each set (with close to an hour for each set), I never got tired.
Then, we had a football field which we shared with the adults. We would come early enough (during the holidays) like around 9am. We will play till probably 12pm and then the adults would come to chase us away. I always stayed back and sometimes they'd use me as a goalie.
Well, as time went by, my grades started dropping and my reports began showing that I was too playful. My dad then stopped me from playing.
It was some few years later that I picked up interest in watching football. Cristiano Ronaldo was and still remains my idol when football is concerned. I learned to do his 'one-legged' step over.
This was far back 2006/2007. My love for football has only increased. I dont play as much as I'd love to but I'm a very big fan of the clubs that Ronaldo has played for.
Thanks to Steemit, I now blog about football. It's something that comes natural with me.
Football is more than sport to me. It's a way of life.
