Undergraduate / Soccer as a way to gain leadership skills - short answer for Common App. [3]

alright, I know everyone else uses sports as their short answer for the extracurricular activity on the short answer, and I wanted to stand out - but I'm trying to play soccer in college, so I decided I best put it in there somewhere. I think it needs a lot of help, specifically in the area of "on topic" or not. See what you think.

In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)

Soccer for me isn't just an extracurricular activity or a pastime I've taken up to keep in shape. Soccer isn't just a way for me to gain leadership skills, set goals and learn the meaning of saying "good game". Soccer isn't just a sport. For me, soccer is life. The passion I have for the game sets the tone for my lifestyle. I know practice must be taken seriously, but I know to take the game to heart, you must have fun. I've played soccer since I was 5, so it no longer feels like a choice to play - rather, part of who I am. The feeling when I step onto the field is almost reverent. Worries and doubts and fears all slip away when that whistle blows and, as one, my team begins to play. I've learned many things from soccer, and I cannot imagine my life without it.
