Winning Goal

Write about a time you felt proud of yourself.

A time I was proud of myself was when I scored the winning goal of the National Cup Finals for Spurs in the 92nd minute. Being a striker is something I dreamed of since I first started playing football and to actually do it in such an important game was unreal.

The rush you get when you score any goal is just mad, but scoring a goal like that was just indescribable. From the moment I received the ball to when the opposing team kicked off again, was just a blur, but when that ball hit the back of the net, my face was probably priceless.

When we realized it had gone in, I just remember all my teammates jumping on me, even the players on the bench, my manager and the coach. To make us all winners was one of the best feelings I’ve ever felt and will be until the day I die. It was emotional to say the least.
