For more than half of my life, I have been heavily involved in extra-curricular activities, one of which is football (soccer). My role as a football player has been developing since I was roughly 10 years old. I played club football, competitively throughout high school, recreationally during college, and I currently continue to play on the lower end of the competitive level. Because football has been a major part of my life for so long and is one of the few aspects of it that makes me happy, it plays an important contribution to my identity. Playing football as an occupation involves a variety of activities, as well as tasks that make up those activities, including running, jumping, and kicking the ball. Tasks involved in specifically handling or kicking the ball primarily include gross motor skills such as hip and knee flexion and extension, and ankle plantar and dorsiflexion. Because football requires a substantial amount of proprioceptive skill, the gross motor skills involved are far more complex than what is formerly listed. Refinement of a multitude of both physical and mental variables is essential in becoming a skilled football player. In my case, they are necessary to maximize entertainment and pleasure, and by extension, meaningfulness.
