BIO
I would describe myself as a very intelligent footballer and a super tactician, I have a view in my head of the pitch and where everyone is and can predict every move of my opposition which then allows me to give information to my team to close down players and manipulate the opposition to gain possession of the ball. I am also a big physical presence on the field and dominate my opposition in every tackle whether in the air or on the floor because I am determined not to lose in any battle against my opponent. My athleticism along with my determination makes it impossible for the opposition to get past me. I enjoy playing the game of football and I am comfortable on the ball dribbling passing or crossing with precise accuracy with both feet under pressure which allows me to keep possession for my team. Every time I step on the pitch I am confident that I will have a good game because I am willing to put in all my effort and play with heart. When I communicate with my team it is clear and efficient as to waste no time and make sure information is understood. As a leader I have to make sure my team are putting in their total effort and heart to win the match as I do. My first team I played for was Tooting Bec united when I was in 10, I started out at centre back and impressed with a couple solid defensive games and I was promoted to captain. I was later promoted to centre midfielder where I dictated play I remember being 2-1 down and scoring straight from a corner then later going on to assist the winning goal. My drive to win and succeed is strong I will never give up even if the situation is difficult. In year 10 I was entered by my teacher into a local schools athletic competition after showing high fitness levels in the bleep test and 12 minute run, I had no experience of running in an athletic competition before but I drove hard with all my power I had to claim 1st position off the local 1500m champion I was extremely proud as all my hard work and determination had given me success. I use this experience to remind me of what I can achieve. Before joining Western Texas i played for Tooting and Mitcham, I joined the team in 2010 as an academy player following a gruelling trial process that saw me gain a place in the team over 200 other players. I have matured a lot playing for Tooting and Mitcham I have made my way up the ranks getting promoted from the academy to the reserves and into the first team.
Jerome Bland is Currently Studying at Western Texas Community College and is looking to transfer in the fall of 2015.
