Premier

"Authors Note:

This piece is about Premier. I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of an essay."

“Come on you guys let’s go!” Brian screamed as Joe Hartung took it up the field. When  Joe charges down field he gets approached by the right wing defender and dominates him with a croave to take it to the top of the 18. You can hear the opponents’ coach screaming and shouting for the defenders to drop, but it is too late. Joe dishes it to Brandon who strikes it right to the back of the net. “Yeah! Way to go,” our coach screams just as the opponent takes the kick off. Now do we play for the win… or the tie?

            5-1-2. Is this a good enough record for you? Well for my team, Pewaukee Sussex United this is still not good enough. As the year has progressed we have improved individually and as a team. We will also have to make tough decisions that we make as a team, like moving up to Premier or staying down in 1^st division, to our coach making decisions about who plays where. Overall the biggest decision we have to make is either going up a level or staying where we are and win our division.

With this decision that we are going to have to make a lot will come after it. For example if we are to stay down in 1^st division we will still need to have the same amount of practices a week which will keep our skill up. Also we will still have the same amount of games that we had this season. The teams that we will play though will not be as advanced as the Premier teams we would play if we move up. Tournaments we will enter in will have more competition than usual because we still need a tough challenge every once and a while. 1^st division will also give us many opportunities that we would not have if we move up to Premier. Our team will be able to travel in state and out of state to tournaments that we will not be eligible to enter in Premier. In state we would be able to go to Appleton for the state cup and for out of state we would be able to go to Kansas city for the President’s Cup which is only for 1^st division teams. Finally if we stay in 1^st division our coach is going to set us one goal and one goal only: to win the division.

On the other hand if we would move up to Premier there would be many differences from this year. This means that at practice we need to improve many things like first touch because if that doesn’t improve we would look as dumb as a football player trying to play soccer. Another thing that would need to improve would be our possession game because if we don’t improve that we wouldn’t even make one successful pass. Finally we would need to improve our practice time, improve our practice quality and improve our practice drills.  If we do this we will be able to improve our game play and be more of a competition to the opponent.

“Ref, time?”

“Under a minute,” he answers.

“Let’s go!” I shout.

Soon enough the opponent has a breakaway down the field and has our final defender to defeat. He tries to dribble right through him but gets stopped with ease by John who plays a long ball up to Joe. “Push up!” my coach screamed.

We shot down the field  determined to get the winning goal. TWEET, TWEET, TWEET! The game was over, we tied.

Overall our team Pewaukee Sussex United has to make some tough decisions that will affect what we are and what we do. It will even decide what our competition will be like in the future along with our record in the league. Our record at the end of the season will play a big role what will happen in two years; will we move up, move down or stay the same? Is our record is good enough?
