I am an athlete because I am a team player

I am an athlete because I want motivation in my life

I am an athlete because I have strength, courage and faith on the field

I am an athlete because I stand tall through the blood, sweat, puke and tears

I am an athlete because I have learned from my losses and carry my wins

I am an athlete because I am my own champion

I am an athlete because I play for the love of the game and nothing else

I am an athlete because I committed to give my time to my team

I am an athlete because I will do whatever it takes to excel further with my sport

I am an athlete because without the game of soccer my life would be lacking something
