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.
Though we were unable to win this national but being part of this tournament was a different experience because it is managed by air force and being amongst army was a moment of pride for me. 

Before returning back to Goa we also visited Taj Mahal, Agra Red fort, Gate of India, Delhi Red Fort, Qutub Minar and so on. It was a wonderful experience of my life.

All India University Women's football

Hii, this blog is all about my this year journey in football and my achievements One day Sir informed me that there's going to be Goa University Selection trials and I should try for it.

So I decided not to go for the selection.  On the day of selection sir forced me and send me for the selection. After having 3 selection trials the team was selected and it was unbelievable moment for me that I was selected as part of Goa University.

Seeing my friends practicing inspired me to join football. later I came to know that Director of Sports and Youth Affairs (DSYA) every year organises tournament and this is how my football journey started.
