Kevin woke up earlier than usual on Saturday morning. He felt nervous because he had an important soccer match later that day. Last week, his coach announced that only players who arrived on time and wore the correct uniform would be allowed to play. Kevin checked his bag twice for his jersey, socks, and shoes. He was determined not to forget anything this time.
While his father prepared breakfast, Kevin sat at the kitchen table reviewing some new soccer tactics he had learned online. He imagined scoring the winning goal in today’s match. Suddenly, his phone beeped—his friend Tony sent a message saying the game had been postponed to next weekend. Kevin felt a little disappointed but also relieved. Now he had extra time to practice and improve his footwork.
After breakfast, Kevin decided to go for a short jog in the neighborhood. As he ran, he thought about asking his father to help him train in the backyard. Even though the match was postponed, Kevin wanted to become a better player. He believed that hard work was the key to achieving his goals, on and off the field.
