The reason why I started playing football is quite weird and funny. It was the broadcasting of an anime INAZUMA 11 in Cartoon Network back in 2010, that made me really interested in playing football. From, playing just to imitate the Killer Moves from an anime, with my classmates, my neighbor kids, to eventually develop a strong connection to the sports itself so much that once it was even my dream to actually be an Indian national footballer, but it is what it is.
Inspired from INAZUMA 11, at the beginning, winning the inter school championship for our school was my motivation to play football, but it was from 2012 I realized a bit of how much I loved the game itself. Little by little, I was developing sense for the game, skills and techniques. Even though being one of the best player amongst my class mates, I could not make it into the school's football team back in 2013. I was quite devastated but I did not give up. I joined a coaching center very close to my home during 2014 summer. It really helped me grow not only in my football but also as a person who I am today. With constant practice, trying my best to get a regular spot in the team for coaching center, my days were passing by. Starting from center-back to side back, mid-field, winger, and even striker, I was used in all sort of positions in the training sessions.
Finally, in 2014, I got selected for the school team, but unfortunately, the tournament was cancelled that year.

More than anything in my life, football allowed me to meet with various people and learn from them and also it gave me access to travel to multiple places. Various stages, where I could showcase and test the abilities and skills that I have developed through constant effort and also deliberate practice, were given to me to perform. I lost a lot and won a few times in my entire career as a footballer, yet I have learned so much from the game which I love so much. Because of it, I discovered new things about people playing the game as well as myself.
