How sweet it is!

She thought,

Mary was smiling at her husband,

coming to her.

Don't be afraid, Jan.

Give it to her.

Most importantly, she used it

to wake up,

and when she fell asleep,

Jan was proud

and ambitious.

She was smiling at her husband,

but she knew,

that school is so far away.

She wanted to get to her husband's team,

but they were too far away.

Three of them were happy

when she taught me.

What did I have to do?

She asked herself.

She ran away from the last town

as Adrenaline pulsed.

The first time she tried it well,

but she was still on the edge of the cliff.

We have to hide,

take care of Mary,

for what happened in the distance.

I knew,

that I had to take care

of the important equipment.

With the equipment

I looked at the branch,

in the hall,

and in front of the enemy.

I never thought of it.

With a little cloth,

I looked at the branch

and looked at the branch.

The hall,

with a stadium,

was closed.

Jan and Mary were at the door.

After the trio,

Jan was convinced,

that she could

get all the time,

that she was smiling.

She organized a study

of the guests,

which will be more effective.

She taught herself,

discipline and respect.

She indicated herself,

that she could

be successful in everything.

Jan found the new

between the school

and the football.

She found it.

We thought

that we have the chance to get to the team.

She asked Mary

to live with her dream.

Jan was smiling.

She said,

she believed,

and did not give up,

she said.

And so Jan called the guests,

she learned

to believe in herself

and her respect.

She was ready

to start everything

further,

what life is ready.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

Jarni,

slunce,

svite lona,

gimnaziem,

vpraze,

gde se studenky,

hemzili,

pohryšky.

The spring sun

shone over the gymnasium

in Praha,

where students buzzed

around the playground.

Kolem,

rostlinarci sove,

zviestuic,

bližic,

se velikonoce.

Narciso

grew all around,

heralding the approaching Easter.

Jena senervo

zni dývala

na spoluhráče,

kteří se rozcvyčovali.

Jana nervously watched her teammates

who were warming up.

Vlavie měla myšlenky

nejenna fodbalo,

ale ina bližic,

se skoušky.

Her mind was filled

not only with soccer thoughts,

but also with the upcoming exams.

Jak to zvádnu?

How will I manage?

Przemýšlela.

She pondered.

Marek,

jej usměvaví spolužák,

přišel kní.

Marek, her smiling classmate,

came up to her.

Nebojse,

Jano.

Don't worry, Jana.

Dašto.

You'll do it.

Hlavně si to uží,

po vzbuděli,

i kdež v hloubidu

se samcí tíl tlak.

Just enjoy it,

he encouraged her.

Even though deep down,

he felt the pressure himself.

Jana byla odhodlana

a ambicio zni.

Jana was determined and ambitious.

Mirovala fodbalo,

ale věděla,

že škola je také důležitá.

She loved soccer,

but she knew that school was important, too.

Htěla se dostat do fodbalového tímu,

ale skoušky byli zarohem.

She wanted to make it into the soccer team,

but the exams were just around the corner.

Trio ty berytou dobou,

kde se měla učit.

The tryouts were at the same time

she needed to be studying.

Co mám dělat?

What should I do?

Ptála se sama sebe.

She asked herself.

Running on the field with the others,

she felt adrenaline pulsing through her veins.

The first part of the exams had gone well,

but now the team was on the brink of defeat.

Musíme skorovat,

Žekl Marek,

zatímco se potil vedlení.

We need to score,

Merik said, sweating beside her.

Jana věděla,

že musí udělat o dva

ažné rozhodnutí.

Jana knew she had to make a bold decision.

S odhodláním pohledem na branku,

vzalamíč a utekla předprotivníky.

With a determined look at the goal,

she took the ball and darted past the opponents.

Teč nebo nikdy,

my son,

now we're never,

she thought.

Spevním koplutím poslalamíč

po oblouku do branky.

With a firm kick,

she sent the ball in an arc into the goal.

Goal.

Goal.

Stadionem zazněl jásot.

Číme skorovat,

kou.

Stadionem zazněl jásot.

Cheers echoed through the stadium.

Jana a marek byli na tšení.

Jana and Merik were ecstatic.

Potrioutech si Jana uvědomila,

že si může naít čas na vše,

co miluje.

After the tryouts,

Jana realized that she could find time

for everything she loved.

Zorganizovala si studiíní hodiny,

které budou efektivníší.

She organized study hours

that would be more efficient.

Naučila se spoit disciplínu a vášen.

She learned to combine discipline and passion.

Ukázala sama sobie,

že se spravním planováním

může být uspěš náve všem.

She showed herself that with proper planning,

she could be successful in everything.

Jana found balance between school and soccer.

She gained confidence.

Do you think we have a chance to make the team?

Merik asked with a bright smile.

Jana smiled back at him.

Definitely yes.

You just have to believe and not give up, she replied.

And so Jana overcame obstacles,

learn to trust herself and her decisions.

She was ready to face anything else life

might have in store for her.
