Fady Tawfik is a first year graphic communications major at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. In his free time, Fady is an avid soccer fan and can also be found playing pick up soccer on the weekends. Without soccer and sports as a whole, Fady would not be the same person that he is today.
Growing up, Fady had some troubles fitting in at school because he was a first generation American and could not relate with many of his classmates. So, to combat this he began to follow in his older brothers’ footsteps and play soccer. He quickly fell in love with this sport and it became his way to express himself and have fun.
Fady played on his high school soccer team and he credits this experience for shaping him into the person he is today. He learned a lot of life lessons and picked up many skills along the way, including his ability to communicate and ability to analyze different situations and act based on his instincts. These skills are able to translate into environments off of the soccer pitch, showing the outstanding impact sports can have on every aspect of one’s life.
The final impact that soccer has had for Fady is that the sport has given him someone to idolize and look up to. Ever since he was ten years old, Fady has found a role model in Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This player’s tough upbringing and outgoing and confident personality has always inspired Fady and he would consider Ibrahimovic to be one of his heroes.
Fady has been forever changed by the sport of soccer, as its impact can be seen in virtually every aspect of his life.
