Motivating Story of a Soccer Match

This is a Highly Motivating Story. It is about a boy who fulfilled his dream to be a Soccer Star and make his father happy. He did achieve it and his blind father did see it.

He Loved Playing Soccer Match
He was a Soccer fan. He won't leave watching a soccer game. As he grew up he wanted to play soccer and make it big as a star. His body was not made for the game. But he ignored it and kept playing football whenever he could. He keeps dribbling anything round that his foot could find at home or at school. His father found out this and bought a football for him and encouraged him to play more often.

He Practiced Soccer at Every Opportunity.
As he grew up he started practicing Soccer at every opportunity he could find. He and his friends would rollup a newspaper into a ball and start playing. But it was not long before he started getting a hang of the game. He started playing in the school football team by the time he was around 15 years. His Everytime he played in the field, his father would come and sit around encouraging him.

He is Selected for inter-College Soccer Match
He was not an outstanding player. But was quite good at the game. So his college coach short listed and selected him for the district level Soccer match. He was very happy. His father was also very happy. But his coach was not very happy at his skills and shunted him into the extra players list. In spite of this both the son and the father were happy. The Soccer match was scheduled on the coming Sunday. He practiced very hard to improve all his soccer skills for many hours after the practice sessions were over and at times he even played with his ball under the street light at night.

His Father Fell Ill a Few Days before the Soccer Match
On wednesday morning his father fell ill and was taken to the hospital. Yet he went and attended the practice session. The next day his condition deteriorated. He still attended the Soccer practice session.

He Asked Permission to Skip the Friendly Soccer Match

He Plays the Soccer Match
He immediately ran down to the changing room, opened the locker and put on his College Soccer colours. Then he went and requested his coach to allow him to play. The coach thinks for a while. There remains only 5 more minutes for this soccer match to end and the college soccer team is anyway going to lose the match. So this boy playing in won't make much of a difference.
