Personal Statement
My name is Conor Buckley and I am currently a 16-year-old from Melbourne, Australia.
I am hoping to find a college to support my academic and Soccer aspirations as through research the USA college system is a much better method of starting my career. I am motivated to balance books and Soccer in order to achieve my goals on the other side of the world.
Academically, I have received awards and scholarships into high-school already and have an avid interest in Project Management as a back up if Soccer does not work out for me.
I have just won my second Player's Player of the year in three years and got nominated for club Player of the year.
Currently playing at an Under 20 level, I have been asked to play up in the Reserve squad at my club, Banyule City SC, which competes in the third tier of the state of Victoria and I have been consistently training with the Under 20s and the reserves twice a week.
Injury-wise I am clean of any injuries.
I am a dominant Centre-Back with ball playing ability, I can do jobs at full back and Striker if need be.
In terms of other sports, I have made the Under 18 All-Australian side for Gaelic Football in 2018 and have won MVPs in Australian Rules Football and Basketball through my junior years.
I also am an assistant coach to an Under 12s team and am looking to coach my own team through the start of 2020.
Video footage of my games will be available by the end of June.
