Unexpected Freestyling

I'll admit, I used to play soccer. I was never the best, but I was fast and when pushed down I got right back up, sometimes even doing a backwards somersault to get momentum. There was a determination in me whenever I stepped onto the field that I'd never felt before. I recognized that same determination in Indi Cowie after reading the article, "A Soccer Phenom Puts the "I" in Team." Of course, Indi is this amazing 16 year old soccer freestyler who's been to Prague and Rome because she's just that good. "This 16-year-old nobody does things no other girl on the planet can do," she's basically the best and yet she still practices "90 minutes a day" perfecting something I would have stopped trying to reach long before. However, she's still unpopular, unnoticed and hated for her selfishness on the field. So the girl may not pass all that much. At least she's scoring goals! How could a coach complain about that? I'll admit, I'm in awe of her and a tiny bit jealous that I can't do a third of what she can, but that doesn't mean I hate her. How can you hate someone that good? Jealousy is a mean emotion, possessing so completely and driving out any other thought in a person until all they have to say is "we all hate you." A girl as talented as Indi should be appreciated as the "phenom" that she is. All I have to say is, YOU GO GIRL!
