The 90th Minute

As I wrap up production on my project , I can honestly say that doing this has given me a new appreciation for soccer.

Now I see why it's considered to be the most popular sport in the world.

I spent approximately a month and a half's time getting footage, interviews and doing research for the project.

When I first started attending practices, I was getting a couple of weird looks from the players as if to ask "What's this guy doing here with this camera?" But as the days and weeks progressed, the athletes and coaches became more comfortable around me.

Special thanks goes to men's head coach Benny Artiaga and women's head coach Ruben Gonzalez for letting me get a peak into the life of soccer teams at Cerritos and also for letting ride on the team buses to some of the travel games.

Thanks to the athletes who took the time out to let me interview them;

Women's team:

Monique Cisneros,

Desiree Cardenas,

Liliana Leos,

Corina Villegas and

Yazmin Torres.

Men's team:

Luis Gonzalez,

Alex Munoz,

Jonathan Rivas,

Salvador Melendrez and

Michael Paz.

Thanks to the other athletes and coaches who acknowledged me answered some of my questions.

I hope that the viewers have as much enjoyment from watching my presentation as I did into producing it.
