My football history.
I started my trainings at the age of 6 in local club in Poland, GKS Katowice who is one of the most famous Polish football clubs . At age of 10 years old I started training in similar fashion as in English football academies, this meant 2 hours of training from Monday to Friday, special goalkeeping training's and access to swimming pool, gym and football pitches. The weekly cycle is than finished with a league game on Sunday. This means that the football basics which I received were professional from the beginning.
May 2006, me and my family have came to England and in September of the same year, I started to play with City Central F.C. where at age of 12 I played for U14 team. The next season I moved to Eastleigh F.C. to play for them in U13/U14 age group. During my first season there, we finished third in First division and we reached quarter-final of Hampshire Cup. We also took part in an international football tournament in Poland where we finished 5th without conceding any goals, after the game for the sixth place finished with a draw, the score was decided in penalty shoot-out during which I have not conceded a goal either. In this tournament I was chosen as a goalkeeper of the tournament for the second time in my career. From season 2009/2010, after the disbanding of my age group team at Eastleigh, I played for City Central U15 team. We finished our season being unbeaten in our league and getting to quarter-final of Hampshire cup again. Season 2009/10, I played for City Central U16 team, which after major changes in the squad during the summer break, encountered few tough games during the start of the season. Although we came back to win 10 games in a row, this placed us 2nd and gave us promotion to the 1st division.
During all those years I was playing for my school team with which we won our Yr8 and Yr9 league. I was a sports prefect in my school which meant I helped younger students with their football skills.
This shows that from the beginning of my adventure with football I was coached in a professional manor and the experience I got in different types of competitions is an advantage of mine.I should add that during all these years, I was taking part in goalkeeping training that helped me build on my technique; this caused my technique to be very good, which is important on such a hard position as goalkeeper.
I am currently playing for Totton & Eling F.C. reserves team which is playing in Wyvern Combination Football League.I'm also goalkeeping coach assistant and I help with coaching younger goalkeepers as well as with preparing some exercises.
I attended a trial for Tottenham F.C. in March 2011 where I received positive feedback and in 2007 I was training with Southampton F.C. for 9 months.
In September 2011 I begin my college education at Totton College, I start studying Sports BTEC Level 3, History, Football coaching level 1 and Sports Academy. In Sports Academy I'm playing for the college football team. The program includes few training sessions a week and a competitive level match, this gives me possibility to develop my skills as I will get access to football pitches, gym and pool.
Concluding - I'm professionally trained goalkeeper from the beginning of my adventure with football, I have a wide variety of experience at different level of competitions. I'm greatly motivated to enter the professional football and I will put 100% of my skills, experience and talent into the club that will make it possible for me.
