Welcome What makes you different to other players? I am different to other players as I have a devotion and passion for soccer, I am a leader on and off the pitch and I hate losing. I feel that what makes me different to others is the extra practice I put in during my own free time, both in the gym and on the field. I have always stood by the desire to strive to be the best I can possibly be.
by Sam Holden
Why should a coach choose you? I am player that can adapt to different formations and tactical approaches which means that I can play in a number of different roles and positions, this has allowed me to be able to understand the game from a number of different attacking, defensive and tactical situations and has progressed my game greatly. I have always backed my coaches one hundred percent and would put myself on the line for our team.

Reference
To whom it may concern, Sam is an outstanding schoolboy player and is without doubt one of our most gifted players. He is technically very strong, well balanced and has two good feet. Consequently he always looks very comfortable on the ball. One of the key features of Sam’s play is his ability to burst forward and really make a positive impact on the game either by scoring or creating. Sam is a very versatile player and although he is an outstanding holding midfield player he is also very comfortable fulfilling a more attacking midfield role. Sam footballing maturity is beyond his years; he is very knowledgeable and has a great understanding of the game. I have been impressed with his ability to lead the team and he has always flourished with positions of responsibility. Sam makes effective decisions on the pitch and has the potential to control a game and dictate the play. Another one of Sam’s features is the consistency of his effort and attitude in training, always working hard and more importantly listening to advice and taking on board coaching points with a view to him improving as a player. Sam has a strong footballing back ground and spent some of his earlier years in Manchester United academy system, he has also represented England Independent Schools U18’s. He was also part of the school 1st XI which successfully won the U18 Independent schools Cup. Sam his highly thought of at school both as a footballer and a person and I can highly recommend him for a scholarship to an American University. I cannot think of a more suitable player and personality. David Faulkner Director of Sports Millfield School
