The Literacy of Soccer “Wake Up, America: Here's Why Soccer Is The World's Best Sport.” This is a title of an article about soccer’s influence, which explain the importance of knowing and playing soccer. As everyone knows, soccer is definitely unpopular in the United State. Compared to soccer, local Americans prefer to focus on football, baseball, and basketball. According to a set official data on a magazine about Americans’ favorite sports, the ranking of soccer is around seventy, which is fall behind dog sledding unexpectedly. Now, I have to stand out and announce the significant literacy of soccer because people could improve themselves by touching the philosophy of soccer. Many people regard soccer a kind of sport item and they ignore that the literacy of soccer had become a critical sponsorship when I was young. Actually, the literacy of soccer reflects not only physical training and violent aesthetics when I fight with my rivals, but also the deep value and perspective such as strategy, teamwork, and persistence, which is beneficial to my whole life experience. In order to achieve a goal and success especially over a long period of time, people must establish a series operative strategy which will be helpful to their destination. Just like plans and projects, it is necessary for human beings to make effective strategies because they could get more confidence to make decision in advance. It is why soccer teams need coaches to formulate different kinds of tactics to against their rivals which also have a variety of styles. If I do not establish any strategies, it is impossible for me to study in America where I have great opportunities to achieve advanced ideas and knowledge that I could not obtain in my country. When I have a goal, I should order a considerate strategy to elevate myself at minimum effort. This is like a business, all businessmen are eager to obtain the most profit at minimum cost. Because of my strategy, I gave up to continue studying in Chinese universities and chose colleges in the U.S. even though it is very expensive. In Chinese schools, it is common to see students listen to their teacher carefully without any noise and I think it kills creativity and imagination of students. As far as I'm concerned, to spoon-feed students is not a good teaching method. According to Paulo Freire, not like the reactionary banking method education, problem-posing education becomes revolutionary in the future (84). On the contrary, the education in the U.S. stimulate the students' initiative to learn instead of adopting the cramming method of teaching. Nowadays, western class has benefited me a great deal since I arrived in the Unite State last year. In addition to strategy, teamwork is definitely essential when I encounter some difficulties on my way to success. In short, teamwork is that I do together with other people, which means I acquire assistance form others. As everyone knows, soccer game needs operation in coordination. Even if Messi and C.Ronaldo who have super personal skills, could not get goals without teammates’ supports. This I know for certain, teamwork is look like a sponsorship, which provide me with a hand when I am in trouble. Speaking of that, I have to refer to my parents, who bring me up without any rewards. Actually, my family is like a small team and I have two intimate teammates: father and mother. They always supply me with favor not only economic supports but also mental consolation. For this reason, I accept the western education which is more progressive than my countries’. Deborah Brandt, the author of “Sponsors of Literacy” claimed “a focus on sponsorship can force a more explicit and substantive link between literacy learning and systems of opportunity and assess” (48). As I mentioned before, as one form of teamwork, sponsorship by my parents help me achieve my educational dream and let me be thankful to them. Many sponsors’ will be glad if the sponsored appreciate them even a “thank you”. So, I must be grateful for my parents’ contribution. Even if I possess considerate strategy and united teamwork, it is vain if I lack of a good spirit of persistence. In a-ninety-minute professional soccer game, players have to run tirelessly with high concentration of thought. Although they lose the game, audience will offer them applause because they do their best and never give up. Sometimes I am tired and scared due to the fact I often wander and hesitate between persistence and give up. By contrast, I will keep a clear conscience although I fail to do something just because I have insisted on my dream. People who devote themselves to something they interested in and never say give up will be respected and enshrined forever. Malcolm X, a famous human rights activist, declared that he was willing to spend the rest of his life reading to satisfy his curiosity (126). In this case, Malcolm liked reading books which could broad his eyes and enrich his mind. The persistence on books enables him to be a leader to try to solve human rights issues. A large amount of people own dreams, but just a few of theirs come true because of persistence. In a word, a soccer game includes many kinds of philosophies, which is valuable for people to use and learn. In order to improve the abilities of unity, persistence, and how to make strategy, people should try to discover the deep understanding of daily life. If you don not try to play soccer or watch soccer game, you will never detect the many advantages of soccer. Therefore, as long as you keep eyes open, you could find out many anecdotes that hide the true nature of things from you. Everyone should be aware of something happen nearby and keep thinking from time to time. As a matter of fact, literacy is a efficient tool that give people more space of fancy and creativity. On the other hand, people who are in possession of optimistic attitude are obviously significant. For example, the positive consider that there is at least some water in half cup of water; however, the negative complain that half of cup’s water disappeared.
