James Johnstone
Hawick,Scotland
Summary
Professional, dedicated and results-driven with a Bachelors degree in Sport, Fitness and Coaching, with a lifelong passion for football. Although I am new to the field of football scouting and video analysis, I bring nearly 30 years of experience in a professional environment where attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities have been essential. I have been offered a place with the Global Institute of Sports to study a masters degree in Performance Analysis in Football starting in September, and would love the opportunity to use this degree to enhance my own knowledge and benefit your organisation.
