Summary

I'm a skilled analyst with significant tactical knowledge and understanding around the game of football having played it to a semi-pro level in England. I had been part of the first team coaching staff at Plymouth Argyle for the past 2 and a half seasons, undertaking all analysis jobs. I'm proud that with my final full season, the club achieved promotion to the Championship, England's 2nd highest league. I gained many characteristics through this internship at Plymouth, along with other previous jobs, which all include teamwork, communication, hard-work and passion to succeed. My knowledge for many football leagues around the globe is highly advanced, including academy league structures. I love both analysis and recruitment, with the limitless amount of work that can be researched to allow for the team to perform at the greatest level, gaining an edge on other clubs.
