Information Fluency

In this blog, I will be summarizing an article about one of my main passions, soccer, but for a more specific description of what I will be summarizing is that Alex Morgan, one of the best female soccer players in the world, is showing people that the way to success is not what people would mainly think. One example inside of the article is that you should always have confidence in your abilities. if you do not have this mindset, you could not reach your full potential in soccer. this article also mentions about how you should never overwork yourself because of you don’t overwork yourself, you will become better than if you were to overwork yourself. Overworking is bad for your gameplay because you can either become really sore the next day, or you could hurt yourself and not even play at all.
But its not just overworking physically, if you overthink about soccer, then it could also affect your gameplay. Overthinking isn’t that good before your important game or event, if you do so, you will become super stressed about what you will do wrong and underestimate your abilities. Before a game day, players should always have a mental health day to do whatever makes them feel calm. For example, getting coffee, hanging out with your parents etc.. I know that over thinking isn’t a good thing in personnel experiences as well. for the school team, I kept on thinking I wouldn’t do good, so I kept on stressing over and over again until the day came and as I stepped on the field, I knew I wouldn’t be on my full capacity.
Another thing that this article has mentioned is that you should try to ignore what others think negatively about you. this point is pretty obvious to many, but a lot of people still forget about this really important aspect to become a better player.

That’s the end of my blog, thanks for reading!
