When it comes to sports, my little brother Miguel Angel who
is currently eight years old has been playing since he was three and a half. He
is fast, has great agility and has a love for the sport. Growing up we began
calling him Mickey and is now his nickname with everyone. Today, June 2, 2012
he had a game for the outside soccer league he is playing for, Chelsea Football
Club, at noon. They lost with a score 1-3 against another group with red
shirts.
Mickey has been playing for team Chelsea for a year now and
when he first started playing he played for two age groups: 8 and under and 10 and under. Currently, he
is only playing for 10 and under age group and his coach is Hilario. The first
couple of months into playing for the outside league, Mickey was offered to
play for Santos another soccer team where they travel and he would get a
scholarship for the expenses; however, my parents saw it fit that he stayed
playing for Chelsea since he was just starting out.

When I asked Mickey why he chose to play for Chelsea
Football Club he responded, “Because Chelsea is the best.” He shared with me
his love for soccer and mentioned his favorite players to be Chicharito who
plays for Manchester, Messie who plays for Barcelona and Ochoa who plays for
Mexico.
