Q: What makes the sport of soccer so special?
A: I think that soccer is a very special sport because it teaches kids so many different things that are helpful growing up! I have learned so much from playing soccer, a lot of which I have taken with me off the field and used in my everyday life. I think that all sports are special and important in their own way, but soccer is a sport that kids can take on at a young age easier than other sports, which is why most of us have at one point in their life played soccer. It’s a very universal sport which is another reason why the sport is so special.
