a big day for me.

My favorite soccer player is David Beckham. I have followed his career starting on the roster for Manchester United..followed by his transfer to Real Madrid of Spain and finally his move to the LA Galaxy. He has faced so much adversity throughout his career and he has maintained a calm cool that is to be envied. Because of his massive star power it seems that whenever a new coach comes into the organization he is playing for they use him as a pawn to set an example. They bench one of the greatest place kickers of all time. Twice in his career his managers have gone so far as to say that he will never play for their squad again, and twice they have had to swallow their shorts an beg him back onto the roster.  He isnt a flashy player with brilliant speed. He doesnt shoot his mouth off and proclaim his greatness to anyone who will hear. He is a quiet footballer who has developed himself into an icon for his sport. He is the greatest sports icon of all time. I am not saying that he is the greatest athlete of all time, or even his sport. He is however the most widely recognized personality in the history of sport.

Tomorrow, for the first time in my life, I get to watch him play an exhibition game in Edmonton. I Am Pumped. I am going to enjoy Every Second of the game.
