Tell us about your football history (Min 50 words) : Well, I first started playing football (soccer) at the age of 7. I really enjoyed it at that time as it became one of my top sports. And as I grew up, I only played football at school level, scoring an average of 25 goals a season. Then one day, I thought to myself to excel at club level, eventually with my parents supports and encouragement. Then in 2011, through the help of the Almighty God, I finally played for a club in Johannesburg (Randburg FC), and from there I had built up my potential of becoming one of the best footballers of my age (Under 12, playing for Under 13). This year 2012, I’ve left the club in order to get focused on my studies (for there is no football academy) and I’ve been chosen to participate to Bill Steward Tournament, playing for SOUTHERNS where we’ve won the tournament and I was the top goal scorer with 15 in four days.
Write about your Playing Ability (Min 50 words) : First of all, the positions that I prefer to play are CM, CAM but mostly CF (Center Forward or Striker). I am a highly skilled attacking player on the football pitch, and I have great sportsmanship towards everyone. As a clinical striker, I always have the right mixture of shot power doubled with accurancy, as well as a good scoring instinct. I am extremely dast and anticipate the game well (with the combination of quick, tricky feet with an explosion acceleration). Being very fast and visual, playing with a team spirit, I’m good at timing my runs and also capable of testing goalkeepers from long range. But when I am in the middlefield, I tend to be a play maker and a master of ball distribution. I love playing MID and ST.
Why should an Academy Director give you a trial (Min 50 words) : Firstly, I have to say that it is important that an Academy Director gives me a trial in order to see how I play (playing skills) and how I will fit into the team in terms of their formation, tactics, playing styles as well as strength and weaknesses. A trial is like a test with the main objectives of identifying strengths and weaknesses as well as playing skills. It is made for picking up the potential of any player and if chosen, hopefully start nurturing their talent to become one of the best footballers in history. Secondly, it is important that the Academy Director should have an interview with the player in order to get to know him/her, talking about his/her life, personality, hobbies and Wanting to play for certain Clubs (goals, trophies, team mates and other important information). In summary, based on the needs of a particular skills for the club, it is vital for the Academy Directory to get to know player skills and abilities, before making the final decision for selection in the team.
