Interview

What makes me different from others is my sheer determination and drive to succeed. I am extremely competitive and I will always give my 100% in training and on the pitch. Every coach I have worked with has always said my attitude and my discipline is outstanding. In footballing abilities my turning a defensive situation into an attacking is one of my strong points, I like driving with the ball and finding the highest man. Furthermore I always like to play out from the back and keep possession. Coming from England my game has grit and aggressiveness making it hard for attackers to get past and or to take the ball from me.

I want to compete in College as firstly its an unbelievable experience but secondly it gives me the best platform to hopefully push on to a professional level. Without losing site of my potential football career I am also aiming to achieve academically and am aware that combing these two are a great way to get ahead.

My goals in college are to get my masters degree in business and aim to become the best footballer I can be. By being in the USA I give myself that opportunity to train and play competitive games on a high level. I want to see how far I can go as I don’t feel that I have reached my full potential! The right college and team will allow me to achieve both.

My true goal is to play professional football be it in the US, Europe and or elsewhere. One of my goals is to travel and experience different cultures, countries and expand my horizon. I am aiming do business development in or around sport should this not be possible due to circumstances or after my football career. Then grow to a point to branch out on my own.
