STRENGTHS
Some of my strengths are combining technical skill with athleticism to make a decisive impact in every match. I am confident and composed on the ball, able to maintain possession and help to create as many attacking opportunities as possible. My pace and energy allows me to outrun defenders and exploit the space available, while my accurate and powerful striking makes me a constant goal-scoring threat to the opposition. With my pace and energy to burn, I help to contribute defensively, through high-intensity pressing to make sure to put the other team under pressure disrupting their build up and pushing for them to make mistakes. I am a vocal presence on the pitch helping me to communicate effectively to teammates and be supportive no matter what happens throughout the game. My determination to succeed and commitment to teamwork combined with my goal-scoring instinct, ensures I add value to every phase of play.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
I am focused to becoming the best player I can and to do this I am focused on developing the areas of my game which are a bit behind. Firstly I want to improve my awareness of my teammates positioning so I can link up play more effectively, to do this I need to work more on my scanning, this will create even better scoring opportunities for my team. I also want to build the confidence to consistently apply the skills and techniques I have worked on in training into matches as well as being confident to drive with the ball. By improving my vison, decision-making and bring skills under pressure I will continue to grow as both an individual player and a valuable team player.
