• Think back to your early experiences of playing physical soccer and describe them in terms of when they occurred, the context in which they occurred, and what was going on in your life as they occurred. How were those early experiences related to your age, social class, race or ethnicity, family, and neighborhood or community?
• When children first play sports (or do not play sports through childhood), they do so in connection with ideas about themselves, about their bodies, and about the meaning of their experiences. Where did these ideas come from in your childhood (ages 4-12)? How did they influence the patterns of your experiences and the emotions that accompanied them? Have they changed in your life since age 12? How have they influenced your experiences since childhood up to the present time?
