Personal Statement
My name is Sam Garratt and I play for Florida Rush MLS Next, I grew up in England for 15 years playing academy football for ProFormance Global against the likes of Arsenal and Norwich F.C, which I think separates me from other recruits. I am a Total Football player, able to play almost every position on the pitch, except Centre Back and Goalkeeper; however, my strongest position is Left Wing. My strongest attributes are my speed and strength on the ball, for fast, effective counter attacks, or running through on goal. My passing (with both feet) where I have maintained a passing accuracy of 95%, whether it be playing someone through on goal, or getting out of tight spaces. Also, my communication with everyone on and off the pitch, which I feel is crucial. I have also swam from the early age of 5 which is where I originally learned my competitiveness, and it has helped improve my footballing game. I have aspirations of playing professional football abroad or locally. But before that, I dream of playing at the highest collegiate level whilst working towards my degree.
