This year has been about Overwatch and futsal for me, and I want to get back into playing badminton as well.

This was the year where playing games wasn't as big of a part of my life, I was working full time and looking at my options for my life, and then i discovered the esports program at Lambton. I had gone back into video games pretty hard as this point through Overwatch and League of Legends. At the end of the year I tried out for the Overwatch team and ended up making the team.

I started playing Overwatch this year, a competitive fps. Badminton was still going on, and League of Legends was still a huge part of my life.

This was the best year for esports for me so far, I participated in several tournaments, making it to the second round in both of them on two separate teams. After these tournaments, the teams disbanded. Around this time, I also started playing badminton once a week with some other people that lived in the Exeter area.

With esports being my only real experience with sports in the coming years, I took it fairly seriously by practicing for at least 3 hours a day, trying to be a good leader for my team and being the best player i can be. Met 2 players that really liked working with me, and it was my first inspirational experience with esports and leadership.

Functionalist Theory:
My job on the team as a coach and a player gave me a lot of insight to how much work you can really do in situations where your the only one doing the work you're supposed to be doing. Each of our team members had a responsibility which were never done aside from a few exceptions.

I dove heavily into computer games this year, with no traditional sports I really only had the computer to fill my free time. During this time I also started working with a League of Legends team as a coach and player. I was responsible for setting up scrims and doing reviews for our team.

This was my last year of soccer in Mitchell, I played in Stratford to see how good I am and to also play with my friends from high school in Stratford. We lost every regular season game this year, and I never played soccer again because of that. This year taught me a lot about how groups work because we had almost no one come to practice every week and I think that's a huge reason why we lost every game.

I started playing indoor soccer in the winter to replace hockey, and really started to get into competitive video games like League of Legends.

No more hockey because I was too old for house league, and didn't think I was good enough to move on to a bigger league (even though in hindsight I definitely was). Continued playing soccer, no league wins or anything worth mentioning.

Interactionist Theory:
During this time in my soccer career, I was called up multiple times to play in the year above me. This is when I earned the nickname "the BOW" otherwise known as "the Beast On Wheels" because I just ran everywhere all the time. Because of this, I really pushed myself to be that type of player that was everywhere at once, and to be the best player I could be. They expected me to be the player that would run the ball up the entire side of the field, cross it, and set up my team perfectly for a goal. I was always a strong runner, but I had to really improve my kicking strength and technique to be able to do what they expected of me.

Soccer and hockey as always, 2010 was my last year of hockey, and we ended up winning the "B" championship series for the house league that i was in.

Conflict Theory:
During this year of hockey is when I first noticed how expensive hockey is. One of my teammates was a less wealthy family, and as a result a lot of his equipment was old and second hand. This taught me a lot about how money affects peoples because this teammate was obviously insecure about the equipment he was using. This year we also lost another teammate because he was unable to buy new equipment to play.

Feminist Theory:
On my soccer team this year was the first time I had really noticed the girls on my team were starting to fall behind in terms of the boys. Not that they couldnt do anything, just that they had to put it a lot of work, and while we had a lot of male talent on the team, female talent was much more rare to come by. This started conflict because I felt the girls were being given a lot of leway in terms of how they were playing, and they werent expected to do the same amount of work in a game. This isnt an issue for me anymore, but at the time it was a big issue that led me to really dislike one of my female teamates because she thought of herself very highly in terms of skill in soccer when i did not.

Around this time i started getting more and more into computer games like minecraft, and call of duty as well. Still only played soccer

Continued practising soccer and hockey, around this time I started liking hockey more, but still wasn't particularly passionate about it. Soccer was still my favourite sport.

Continued playing soccer and hockey, I practised soccer constantly and I was very active at school, so I was a strong player

I started playing hockey this year, really liked it, but treated it as preparation for soccer happening in the summer

T-ball ended because I got hit in the face with a bat (I had a helmet on) and then I never played again. Later this year I signed up for soccer.

Signed up for T-ball, made great memories playing soccer with my cousin's which sparked my love for it.

Played sports with my family while I was growing up. Sports like Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball, Swimming (which I was never a fan of), and Stickball.
