    I had never really thought about soccer that way. To me it was always the reason I could not hang out with my best friend. You have changed my mind and did a great job with your talk!

  6. I can tell how much you care about your topic. I never would have thought of the importance of soccer to the world besides obesity. You were rocking back and forth a bit, but it wasn't distracting. Nicely done!

  10. Brendon, just make sure you slow down a little bit. You gave lots of evidence for your point. It's cool that you are setting up a little event for your cause.

  11. You had good pictures, and I liked how you took something that is not well-known and make an argument for why it is important. Nice job!

  12. As a former soccer player, I totally appreciated your TEDTalk. I'm pretty sure soccer is played in more countries than any other sport, and it is a great way for different countries to learn about each other.

  13. It's awesome how you chose a topic that you love so much. good job on focusing on America's teams as opposed to the gigantic European teams. It's also cool how you used soccer to relate to solving the large obesity rate in the country. Nice job:)

  14. Interesting how you chose something so simple but dear to your heart. I have never thought about soccer in this way. You gave it a good place in the world. Keep working on your memorization and connection with the audience and pace your words! I love your goal for yourself, your own call to action! Good job overall.

  16. I think that this was really good because you used a lot of facts and results from soccer games and leagues. You also tied in the economy to soccer well, which was good because you tied in a seemingly abstract thought in. Obesity is a big deal in the United States today, so your examples about obesity was effective.

  17. Brendon, you really like soccer. Soccer is taken a little to lightly, and that might be because of football. Your speech is too reliant on your crutch. Overall, it was a good job.

    I like how you did a topic I could tell you loved. You had many good points and I totally agree that we need to be more active as a nation! I never thought of sports as helping our economy either! Great job!

    I never thought about how soccer could do all these things. I liked your topic, most people have played soccer at one point in there life, and people could relate to it. Nice job!

  20. Soccer as an important tool in American life is a new way of looking at American sports for people to play and enjoy watching. This also helps childhood obesity and can help with respect around the world for America. Great topic.

  21. I never would have thought of mentioning the success of women's soccer and the benifits for school. I also thought it was interesting how you brought in the mental helps as well.

  22. You talked pretty fast throughout the presentation and it was a little hard to catch every thing but I like your original idea. I like how you pulled in a national problem of obesity. Good job!

  25. This presentation was really great because it covered a broad spectrum topic such as obesity. It was obvious that you cared and believed in this topic. I also enjoyed how you told us you were going to do something about what you have said.

  26. His presentation really mattered to him and you could tell he really cared about soccer. He thouroughly changed my mind on the game of soccer. I resented soccer and dismissed it as mindless kicking, but now I can see how it impacts so many people around the world.
