         Soccer has been a very important part of my life; to me, it has a clear definition: passion. It’s not only a very healthy hobby, or a good sport to watch and admire the extremely handsome soccer players; it’s something more, part of my culture, and part of who I am. Whenever I think of soccer, I think of parties, of celebrations, of dancing; and of course, what does a good dancer needs in order to have an amazing performance? Talent and of course, some darn good dancing shoes.      

    A soccer player needs to have three things to be successful: Talent, strength and speed. Talent acquired with time, practice and effort; strength to defeat the opponent on the field; and speed to be the first and fastest of the team. Talent and strength are pretty much, gained with experience; but, what about speed?    

   A soccer player, or at least a very good one, knows that speed is primordial and accuracy, even more. That being said, the secret of soccer players and their success in speed and accuracy comes down to a simple pair of cleats. Cleats offer stability and support to the player; soccer cleats, in this case, are designed to keep the feet as close to the ground as possible.   

   Nike Mercurial SL; that is the name of the most popular and expensive soccer cleat as of right now. Nike, the producer, created the lightest and fastest soccer cleat in history of soccer. The Nike Mercurial SL weights only 0.418878 lb and is made of carbon fiber. Even though the cleat is light, strength and speed are well achieved by the player wearing it. The cleat has a good combination of colors, black and pink, designed especially for the modern soccer player. The construction of the Nike Mercurial SL gives the player the propulsion and acceleration he needs to make smooth moves but also the protection of avoiding foot injuries.      

    I think that the cleat is the most important part of the soccer attire. The cleat needs to be right for you and your needs; there are millions of models, colors and styles. I love the Nike Mercurial SL not only because of its aerodynamics or popularity, but because my favorite soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo, is an avid fan and always wear them when he plays. Ronaldo is very successful on the field, his goals and tricks are extraordinary and he has said before that without his cleats, he probably wouldn’t be able to do half of the wonders he does while playing.      

    Most of the people have some kind of activity that they embrace, love and enjoy above everything else. I know that they can relate to me and my soccer madness and not only those who find soccer appealing; but those who have something they care about and make them who they are; it might be drawing, writing, reading, composing, cooking, cleaning etc. Loving something that builds character in you and makes you better as a person is essential to develop a happier personality.      

    Convincing someone that the right tools drive you to success is not a goal easy to accomplish. Even though I want to inform and let everybody know the benefits of having an amazing over-the-top cleat; the main purpose is to share a little bit of my knowledge on the subject I define as my passion.     

    Readers everywhere might be wondering why this girl cares so much about soccer. She doesn’t even play! And if she does I bet she is terrible! And you know what that is true. After reading this, you soccer fanatic who is still in the “closet,” you discouraged but talented musician, you aspiring writer; please have in mind that no matter how hard obstacles are on the way with effort and the right tools, like the soccer cleat, everything is possible and impossible is nothing.
