What Your Memorial Day Weekend Plans Say About Your Soccer Position

By: Gabrielle Nordstrom

Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start of summer—it’s a solemn occasion to honor and remember the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to the country. It's a time to reflect on the true cost of freedom and to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Don’t forget to take a moment this holiday to pause, remember, and express gratitude for the courage and dedication of those who never came home.

What are you putting on your hot dog?

A. Mustard

B. Ketchup 

C. Both! Neither! I don’t know, I’ll decide when it’s in front of me.

 


If you picked mostly A, you’re probably a forward! You like to have fun but don’t always want to take the lead in things. You take some risks and sometimes they pay off, but other times, not so much.


If you picked mostly B, you’re definitely a midfielder! You like to be in control, making sure everything is the way it should be. You are the heart and soul of your team and your passion is unmatched. You don’t take crazy risks but you know how to have a fun time.


If you picked mostly C, you are a defender, right? Nobody knows if you’re going to sit back and relax or be the life of the party. You know everything will work out so you never get stressed about anything. You’re always down for a good time and the teammate everybody needs.
