Tell us about your football history (Min 50 words) : i am a 6 foot 3 goalkeeper and have played for several teams, i started off a euxton villa as the first keeper and was there for a couple of years to move to a lower sided team to be more action packed in a game. stayed there till i was 12. but whilst i was there i was having trials for liverpool for around 2 or 2 and a half years. i then moved to tarleton corinthians and played above my age in football the team had been in the championship for 2 years and the season i joined and no other players but me did, we went up to them premiership and managed to come 4th. i was being pleaded by the tarleton my own age to move to them and as i moved to them after two years with the elders i managed to bring this team up a league too. i have been offered trials by bolton 4 years ago but had to turn them down due to school. i am still now currently playing for my own age in tarleton and also a county team called south ribble. i had trials for them 2 weeks ago and got in as the first keeper and we will be playing games at a higher standard to sunday football throughout this and next year. last year my school team and tarleton won the lancashire cups and in school i won us the game in penalties when i also dislocated my ankle on the last save of the shoot out. tarleton won our final 9-1 and our goal was an own goal from a cross which should never of happened. i also trained with a team a few years back to improve footwork on and off the ball.i play on sunday nights as a kick about with my friends dads team to train with them in goal, this is so i am capable of taking better and harder shots. i train 5 times a week and also coach once a week with a well known brand called j4k.
Write about your Playing Ability (Min 50 words) : i am a very dedicated and hardworking footballer. i am capable of playing with experienced footballers as i play with over 20's as a kick about on sundays and also train with uefa b qualified coaches and have joined a county team and also a sunday team. i am true in what i do and put all the effort i can in to every thing i do. alot of friends, team mates, opposition, coaches, teachers have told me how capable i am of getting somewhere in a footballing career. numerous times i have saved my team by making saves or assisting goals. i can kick a ball out my hands between the 18 yard box in their half and the edge of the circle in their half, and off the floor i can mostly beet the half way line with height as well. i shout nearly all the time telling my defence what to do and using constructive criticism. i am very capable of what task i have been set and capable of playing with any players.
Why should an Academy Director give you a trial (Min 50 words) : they should give me a trial because i have the ability, height, confidence, attitude, strength, stamina and determination to make it to a pro footballer. i take every opportunity i can get to become closer and am always going uphill in ability. i would take academy football seriously like i do with all football, and would take trials seriously and do my very best to make it through trials and get somewhere.
