Problems…

When I think about if problems create opportunities my soccer brain activated. If you see a problem on the soccer field you can play to counter that problem. Another thing it brings is jobs if there is a problem for something. These two things is why the legend jazz Duke was correct on that problems do bring opportunities.

I can personally connect to this as soccer uses this loads of times in the game and used to prepare for. When I was a sophomore in soccer we had a play off game against this kid who had a crazy left foot. We used this problem to create opportunities by defending his left foot to make him switch feet. “That’s when will strike and steal the ball.” (Coach Worth) We used this strategy to steal the ball from there best player and used him to create better opportunities for are team. This allowed are team to not be scored on and kept the game 0-0 for 20 minutes. Then again in my Junior year of soccer we played against this kid who was really good with the ball at his feet. The only thing that team had was him and he was a problem but we still used the fact that it was just him who was good. “Keep taking the ball from him and he’ll get in his head.” (Coach Worth) We used the fact that he also had a problem that he played worse when you get in his head. When we got into his head we cruised through there team scoring many goals allowing an easy win for us.

Jobs are only created because we had a problem that needed to be fixed like plumbing. They had a problem where the streets of there city’s smelled like poop. They also had poop on the streets of there city. so they had to create a sewer system and plumbing for toilets to keep the streets clean. “coherent and functioning underground sewer network… construction began in 1859, with the bulk of the system completed in less than a decade.” (Science Museum) There was a problem with poop being everywhere in the streets of London. This problem created jobs for London and it also created a working sewer system too. That’s why problems bring jobs to people and work with Duke. Other jobs where also made after the construction of the sewer. We noticed that sewer are not invisible and can break down which is why we made new jobs. People took up jobs in plumbering and sewer treatment. “Gradually transporting it to a sewage treatment works.” (Science Museum) They used the problem that the sewer would break down over time to create new jobs like sewage treatment workers. Jobs are created from someone having a problem with something even if that problem is about poop.

Problems are created all the time and that not a bad thing because it bring opportunities. These can happen in anything like soccer a sport can use problem to there advantage. Jobs are also created because of problems like poop being in the street. Problems are found and fix with many new opportunists right there with it.
