My Darling- Leah Williamson

Her Dream

Personally i loved the smell of freshly cut grass that wafted through the air as I stepped onto the soccer field. The sound of my cleats hitting the ground mirrored the beat of my racing heart.

When i was younger i couldn't believe i was going to compete in my first professional match, a dream I used to have but nurtured since she was a young girl. Thinking back reminded me of that night i tried to forget about.

Growing up in the small town of Wyndwood, i'd always been drawn to the beautiful game. From my early days playing with makeshift goals in the backyard, to joining the local youth team, soccer became an integral part of my life. My drive and determination pushed me to become one of the top talents in the country, catching the attention of several professional scouts along the way.

As the official blew the whistle, i took my position on the field, a mix of excitement and nervous energy coursing through my veins. I glanced around, soaking in the atmosphere of the stadium, the crowd roaring with anticipation. The weight of the team's expectations only heightened the pressure as i prepared to showcase my skills by going forward.

As the match kicked off, my focus sharpened. With each pass, each sprint up and down the field, i showcased my technical finesse and tactical intelligence. My teammates marveled at my ability to read the game, effortlessly orchestrating the defence with extraordinary precision. My love for the sport was evident in every move i made.

Throughout the game, i faced formidable opponents, but i refused to back down. I tackled with conviction, displaying a ferocity that belied my gentle nature off the field. My determination drew inspiration from the athletes i idolized, particularly those who overcame obstacles and shattered ceilings in the world of soccer.

As the final whistle approached, the score remained deadlocked at nil-nil. Exhaustion threatened to overtake me, but the pounding in my chest only intensified my resolve. With a final burst of energy, i seized the opportunity to break free from my markers in midfield and i sprinted towards the goal. In that moment, i silenced the crowd with my focused determination.

With my heart pounding in my ears, i heard the satisfying thud of the ball as it connected with my right foot. Time seemed to stand still as the ball sailed past the goalkeeper, finding the back of the net. A rush of exhilaration surged through my body as i was enveloped in a cacophony of cheers from my teammates and the large crowd.

In that instant, i realized that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey. With my passion, talent, and unwavering dedication, i was ready to carve my own path in the world of professional soccer. And as i celebrated my great goal, i knew deep within that i was destined for more greatness and thrills ;).
