Turning Point of Football Career

Hii. In today's blog i am sharing the incident that changed my life or gave a new direction to my sport career. Every year Subroto Mukerjee Sport Education Society organises Subroto Cup tournament. It is one of the biggest tournament held in football. Our sir unknowingly was training us for the past so many years for this tournament. Sir's team when he was in school was unable to win this tournament so it was his dream with our help and support to win this tournament. When we were in 10th std. we reached the state final it was a very tough time because we had to play against a very strong team. Our whole school had come to cheer us. And finally we did it. We defeated our rivals 3-1 during a tough tie-braker. We had become the state champions. And now we had to represent the Nationals at Delhi. It was special for me because most of our team members had represented Nationals but for me it was my first National. We also mark a history in our village. Thoug...
