Being in a team is the most amazing experience I have ever had, not only because you get to play the sport you love, but also because it almost feels like being in a family. I have been in the football team not for too long, only for one year, but it's really something that impassions me, because I hate the idea of a  society in which only boys are good at  playing football. 

We train every Tuesday and every Thursday and we go to every single match we have because, regretfully, our training field is very small and,as a consequence, our physical condition is not that good. 

Luis Carlos is our trainer; the two words that better describe him are:patience and persistence. He is always there for us, teaching us a lot of new things, telling us how to improve or how to never give up. More than our coach, he is our motivation for being better every single day. He is the most amazing trainer in the world because,for him, winning is not the most important thing, he prefers that we do our best and that we learn a lot about the sport we love. That makes us play with passion,effort and fall in love with this amazing sport.

Last Monday, we had a match against the Santa Maria School and, even though we lost, it was an amazing experience because,as I always say, we learn a lot. We played as a team and we helped each other, so that we could improve and so that we wouldn’t have to run that much. We had a lot of chances to score a goal but Santa Maria's goalkeeper was really good and she caught every single ball we tried to score. The final score was 3-1 but, not because we did a bad team job, but because of stupid mistakes our goalkeeper and the team committed. 

I believe in my team and I know that, if we train hard and practice more, we are going to be the best.
