Konrad Tillman '20 Recruiting Profile

    Born and Raised in London England, I grew up where the only thing around me was football (soccer). My father had trained me since I was 2 years old until I was around 6 which is when I took football to the next level.  I started playing competitively when I was 7 waking up every morning before school for hours having 1 on 1 training sessions then playing after school everyday as well. Shortly after at the age of 10 I was offered tryouts at the Crystal Palace and QPR Academy. Due to family issues and school at the time I was only able to play on for the Palace Academy for a couple of months. However when I continued playing school and club football until I was 13 years old where I was selected to train with the "South Central District" team. This team was made up of the top 23 kids around the London area which would then later go on to compete at the Gothia Cup in Sweden. When High school came around I moved away to New York and my mother sent me off to a boarding school, I adapted to the American way of football while still keeping flashes of English Style in my play.

    I can benefit and have benefited every team I have played on by my playmaking skills, I have incredible vision as told to me by the Chelsea U16 coach who trained me back in England. I can see plays that very few people in this world can see, I have the ability to play any position on the field just as well as my main position, CAM. I was trained with both feet as well as each other, I will hit inswinging corners with my left foot and on the other side my right foot. I have decided and am hoping that high school won't be the last time I play competitive soccer, I am looking to strive on through college and help another team win a trophy.
