MY EXPERIENCE AS A FOOTBALL PLAYER IN AMITY UNIVERSITY

First day when I entered  in sports field, I saw many  guys practicing in field as amity lot of guys believe  in show off..   I saw this thing in field itself,  as everyone  was wearing  expensive football studs and  you ask anyone  do you played somewhere else before  ??   everyone will answer like I played national level, district level  , I play for some club

It made little bit difficult for me  to sustain in football field  for starting days  , then trials for ASET football team for sangathan held at sports complex , from approx. 150 students from all 1st to 4th year only 3 got selected and I was one of them , as my hard work was appreciated by seniors  and we won gold medal also for consecutive 3 years

But I was not satisfied with this only , my passion towards football paid off when my hard work was seen by university coach , same year I got selected for AMITY UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM .

But this was only the outside view of football in amity ,which makes it interesting for viewers  but its totally opposite from inside …

As a player of amity football team from last 4 years I faced hell lot of problems

• There is no one to applause us , no one cheer us as no support is provided to players
• We even need to beg for attendance to attend practice sessions
• We represent AMITY at national level competitions but we travel by local train without any reservation , sleeping and sitting at floor of train  
• No refreshments are provided for players
• Even it affects our academic carrier , teachers always think he can only play and cant study or perform well in exams , so we get less marks
• Conditions of washrooms near sports complex has been worst n worst from last 2 years , no action has yet been taken
• Sometimes we don’t even get football to practice , ground condition is very poor, every 2nd or 3 rd day someone get injured

This is done to those best 16 players from total strength of 20,000   who represent AMITY  UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL TEAM  

And then they want us to perform in every single match ..

So my journey as football player in amity university is going to be end and I want someday that  condition of football team should improve and players shouldspend some  quality life.
