The Savage Gringo: Perspectives On the Game From A SoCal Youth Soccer Player

Soccer gives me a high and releases tension like nothing else in life. My problems and worries from my outside life seem to vanish when I'm on the pitch. I can be my true self and also test myself to see if I really have what it takes. In life, I often feel like the underdog and it's no different on the pitch. I enjoy this aspect though because I can come into the game with something to prove. How I train, eat, sleep, go out with friends - everything in my life is centered around performing my best on the field.
