Soccer

One of my personal interests is soccer. I have played soccer since I can remember when I was younger. Althought I don't play in college. I am interested in soccer because it is my favorite sport and I like watching any kind of soccer game. When i was in high school I was on varsity all four years and team captian my senior year. I know pretty much everything about the sport itself; however, I don't know anything about when soccer became a sport or how it was originated and by who. In order to be good at soccer the players have to know about the history. They wont be as successful if they dont know about the history. Also i feel that if players knew more about the history, soccer would become more popluar in the United States. I feel that this would be a good research proposal because not to many people know or think about the history of sports. In my research proposalo I want to find out why soccer is called what it is, how it origninated and by who. Those question will then lead me into other questions and i will be able to find more information about soccer. This is my first, research proposal, choice.
