James Clare
Personal Statement
Welcome by James Clare
Starting at my local club I was scouted and went for trials at Southampton FC before signing for Portsmouth Football Club Academy of Excellence. I enjoyed a number of years excelling in the academy program and was then offered a two year contract extension, I was over the moon and felt proud that others saw my talent which perhaps not many others had. To my own surprise I turned this contract down due to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had been offered a football scholarship to the best sports school in England, Millfield. Training 10 times a week at school has led to further improvements as a player. I now am the best at reading the game and have grown into a perfect captain. Listening and taking on high coaching skills has made me the player that I am today
