    Write about your football history : I have previously played for my primary school in Kenya where we trained twice a week and a match on Wednesday, at this time I was about 6 years old and this was my first real football experience. We had several competitions held in our school and in other schools which included rewards such as trophies and medals - meaning it was taking very seriously. I played at this level for 3 years. When I played in Kenya I played mainly in central midfield and changed my position to Centre Back at times. I was in the Starting 11 before each match and I was able to last the whole match which was 20 minutes each half. I then had to re locate to Switzerland, Geneva at the age of 9 where I immediately joined the local football team in my local area named Grand-Saconnex. I played at this football team for 8 years to when I was 17. I trained three times a week in this football team and we had a match each Saturday, and sometimes on Wednesday or Thursday if they were cup matches. I played center back, right back, left back and central defensive during my time in Grand-Saconnex. I was a very versatile player and gained lots of experience playing in these different positions. I was able to win 3 league titles in my time in Grand Saconnex and played a large part in their success. I was also able to keep my place in the starting 11 during the 8 years with various managers. I also played in the football team while playing in the local team, where we had training twice a week and had a competition every year which included all the best school teams around Switzerland, which we won two years ago. In my school team I played a more offensive role in Right midfield or central midfield. Now I am in London and playing football in school Friday. 
    Write about your Playing Ability : Involving my football ability I have to say I am a very determined player. I always play with my strength and to my opponent‘s weakness. I see myself as a complete footballer, meaning I am able to play in several different positions and have several strengths. I am a strong player so I am determined to win my 1 on 1 battles, no matter the opponent and if my team does not have the ball I will always try and win the ball, and my strength is valuable in my defensive capabilities. When I play a more offensive role I am able to use my dribbling skills to get out of tight situations or to beat my man 1 on 1. I am a team player which means I trust all my teammates with the ball and I am determined to aid them when they are in tight situations. This attribute is also linked to my passing capabilities; I am able to pass the ball if it is a long pass or a short pass. I am comfortable on both my left and right foot and I will not hesitate to shoot with my left foot, as I am right-footed. My determination for winning every match also gives me a good engine and enables me to run for the whole match. I am also good in the air, meaning I win most of my headers. I am a pacey player which makes me valuable in counter attacks or in getting back for my team, and in addition I can also use my pace to beat my opponents. I also like scoring goals and getting forward for me (depending the position I play) and in corners I am able to scored headers for my team. I am also clinical in the box and I have a good and powerful shot outside the box.
    Why should an Academy Director give you a trial : An Academy Director should give a trial because of my passion of football and the my desire to win whenever I step on the pitch no matter the situation. I never give up in myself or my team when I play, and I always aim to give confidence in my team in difficult situations and I always strive to impress anyone who watches me. I make sure I enjoy football when I play and when I play you can see my desire and joy with the ball at my feet. I always give 100 percent weather that be training or in a match.
