I have been actively engaged in playing soccer since the age of 4, demonstrating a profound passion for the sport and nurturing an aspiration to eventually pursue a career as a professional football player. Coming from a small regional town, I have faced inherent challenges in achieving my dreams. Nevertheless, I remained steadfast in my commitment, persistently honing my skills and advancing to the NPL (National Premier Leagues) for Gippsland in 2021. Currently, I continues to showcase my talent as a member of Gippsland United's U18 squad, while simultaneously undergoing weekly training sessions with Melbourne City.

This year, an exceptional opportunity has presented itself to in the form of an invitation to join an U16 Development Squad, which will embark on a transformative journey to the United Kingdom in September 2023. During this trip, I will have the privilege of participating in training sessions and competitive matches against esteemed Academy Teams from across the globe. Undoubtedly, this opportunity is regarded as a rare occurrence that holds the potential to reshape my future in the sport.

The allure of enhancing my skills, acquiring invaluable knowledge, and receiving training from distinguished coaches affiliated with some of the foremost Academy Teams in the UK is undeniably captivating for myself. With the aspiration of making a lasting impression on the coaching staff, I fervently hopes to secure an invitation to return for subsequent trials the following year. However, the immeasurable personal growth derived from an experience of this magnitude is genuinely life-altering. Consequently, we kindly implore your support to facilitate this remarkable undertaking.
