Athletic Highlight

My grade 12 athletic highlight is from the senior soccer team. Our senior soccer team has been a blast this year and we are currently in the process on attempting to qualify for the first ever provincial birth that Collingwood has ever had with senior soccer. I cannot wait to try and make it to provincials and possibly end my senior year as provincial champs.

Athletics Reflection:

My athletics reflection was on being a part of the Senior School soccer team. When I wrote my highlight our team was in the process of competing in the North Shore playoffs for a chance to win a birth in the Provincials. Sadly, our quest for Provincials was cut short by a hard loss to Sentinel. Yet I would consider my last season as a high school soccer player to be a big success. For the first time in a long time we had students come out to support us at games and there was a buzz around the school about our team. One that had been long lost through the years of constant disappointment. I wish I could come back one more year to help the team finally qualify for a Provincial birth yet I believe that we have enough skill upcoming that we will have no trouble in further building on our success for the years to come. Being on the team as a senior also gave me major leadership experience and allowed me to become more confident in asserting myself in front of large groups of people. I may try to continue my soccer playing career as I attend University next year but if not, Collingwood was a great place to end my career of playing soccer competitively.
