             My Favorite Athlete

Miguel Abad (Sonora, Mexico, October 12, 1992) is a soccer player, Miguel has been awarded many trophies throughout his young life as medium fielder and attacking forward in different leagues and competitions. In someway or another his story is a little bit sad, because he doesn’t play anymore.

            Miguel is one of the best players in this town: he started to play when he was 12 years old for his elementary school. At that time he didn’t have any good skill he learned a couple skills in middle school hen he met Juan Hernandez. Miguel took him as his first role model and the next year he decided to change school, because of racism. Before he left the school, he scored 14 goals in his last game for that school.

            In his new school everything changed. He met soccer players with amazing skills and he put much more effort for it so he was elected to play on the team. He scored 15 goals, setting in third place. When he came back to his town, he played in some tournaments where he won many awards, surpassing the high scorer, Hype Ganzalaz.

            In June 2009, he moved to the United States of America. Surprisingly, his skills improved enough to find a team, and he started to play. Sadly, a month later, he started to work, leaving soccer completely. Three years later, he began to play again, but he had lost conditioning for running, his skills, and dribbling. Yet,  three teams ask him to join their teams anyway, he had no time to train.

            What I like most about this player is that he is very intelligent, and he not only has good skills, but creates good plays. He knows how and where to send the ball to his peers, and he was used to training a lot. He never surrendered or despaired easily on the field as more people do when they are loosing a game. One of the other interesting things I like about him is that he learned quickly from his rivals. In that way, he can face them and beat them up. Also, when his rivals learned form him, he came up with new skills.

            He is a great player I guess he is going to play again this season. Hopefully he will reach the level he had before, and why not ever surpass Hype again, who came to the United States in 2010, and had not stop of scoring for his team.
