CASE STUDY

The Context:
I started playing football before I started school. I have a bigger brother and together with him and our friends we were playing football every evening at the neighborhood pitch. Later on my parents enrolled me in the football team FC "Metallic" Sopot- preparatory group.
My family played a big role in the process of me beginning actively playing football. My father (when he was young) and my brother are football players.
With the heavy load of my school curriculum, the subject "physical education and sport" is quite relaxing.
Sport in our country is not supported enough by the institutions and many parents do not support their children enough.
Balancing Sport and Education:
I spend two hours a day for training and three hours to study. My biggest sport achievement is my acceptance in the senior team of FC "Levski" - Karlovo.
My grades at school are very good. Sport taught me that you have to fight for what you want. It is the same at school. Sport taught me discipline, responsibility and collectivism.
Without the daily training my grades in school could be even better, but what sport gives me can not be compared with anything else.
Future Perspectives:
I'm in the 12th grade. It's the last and the most exciting and important year. I prepare myself for the state qualification exams.
I will apply to university and will also find a team where I can play football. Thus I will combine work with pleasure.
