Phoebe Licence '17 Recruiting Profile

Having started playing football from an early age influenced by my older and twin brothers and originally playing in boys’ teams I have always had a strong determined physical and mental presence on the field.

My strengths are reading the game, allowing me to move into space and create chances giving the player in the best position the opportunity to score but never afraid to take the chance myself. Using my brain on and off the field.

My studies are very important to me. In fact one of the main reasons for moving to the UK for my A levels was to get the right balance between my education and soccer training. To finish my degree is essential to further my career, it can always be depended on and I will endeavour to organise myself to achieve my educational goals whilst balancing those with my passion to play soccer.

My diverse background, growing up in the Middle East, playing for an adult International team from age 13 and now currently at boarding school in the UK has made me independent, quietly self-assured and have developed the ability to adapt to any situation.

To date I have achieved the following:

• Bahrain Women’s National Football Team – 19 appearances, 2 goals.
• Exeter City Ladies Football Team – Season 2015-2016 – signed November 2015

• Viva Manchester United Competition winner –Best female midfielder- 2013
• St. Christopher’s School, Bahrain- Victrix Ludorum, Female Athlete of the Year –June 2015.

My vision is to achieve the best I physically can with maximum playing time, learning from my fellow team mates, using their life experiences and knowledge to increase my game potential.

I am a team member and will honour the coaches’ game plan whilst keeping my body in peak condition ready for any opportunity. My work ethic and self-motivation will help me on and off the pitch.
