Thomas Bould '16 Recruiting Profile

My main goal and dream is to become a professional footballer. All my life, I have been brought up with football all around me. My family and I are massive Manchester United fans! My father was brought up on the outskirts of Manchester. Whenever we visit my grandparents, we always go into the city and see Old Trafford. For my thirteenth birthday, my father took me to see a game in Manchester against Chelsea. It was the deciding match to see if United would win the league, and it was fantastic! The singing and chanting around the stadium was like nothing I've ever heard before and whenever United scored, It was like I'd gone deaf from all the screaming! Football has always been a passion in my family. I always watch football and whenever I can, I go outside or go to the park and play. If becoming a professional footballer doesn't work out then I'd like to be involved in either sport science or business. I'm very interested in the way a humans muscles and ligaments work in their body and how people have to take care of themselves to stay fit. Also, I think becoming a manager for a sports team would be a fun thing to do. It would still keep me in the sporting world and it would be interesting to see what kind of tactics I could come up with to help a team win. Those are the things I would like to accomplish, either become a professional footballer or something where I can still be involved with sports.
