Talent, harde werk en deursettingsvermo\u00eb is nie altyd genoeg om jou drome te laat waar word nie. Daarvoor is gulde geleenthede en die regte mense wat jou potensiaal kan raaksien en help ontwikkel, ook nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al hierdie faktore het onlangs vir Cleo Claasen, Giano Viret en Q-Win Poole van die Overstrand in plek geval nadat hulle aan sokkerproewe, wat in Kaapstad deur die BT Football Recruitment Agency gehou is, deelgeneem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die drie oortuig was dat hulle hul bes gedoen het en hulle ingelig was dat hulle die kortlys gehaal het, was dit nog \u2019n paar stresvolle dae voordat hulle ingelig is dat hulle wel gekies is om aan die 10 dae lange toer van 10-20 Januarie 2024 in Swede deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar sal hulle vyf wedstryde teen spanne van professionele klubs en sokker-akademies speel. Talentsoekers en afrigters van verskeie professionele sokkerklubs sal die wedstryde op soek na nuwe talent bywoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cleo en Q-Win (17) wat vir Hawston FC sokker speel, en Giano (20), wat vir Real Attackers uitdraf, skryf hierdie geleentheid, wat net een keer in \u2019n leeftyd op jou pad kom, toe aan hul afrigter, Grant Gillion, se toewyding en bereidwilligheid om hulle na die proewe te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Gillion het hy Giano ten spyte daarvan dat hy vir \u2019n ander klub speel, na die proewe gevat \u201comdat Giano in sokker uitblink\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit het nie gegaan om net Hawston FC en ons eie spelers te bevoordeel nie; dit was om die spelers bloot te stel aan \u2019n geleentheid wat die potensiaal het om hul lewens te verander,\u201d s\u00ea Gillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q-Win, die jongste van die drie, s\u00ea hy is passievol oor sokker omdat dit hom van sy probleme laat vergeet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie gees is onbeskryflik en almal is soos broers op die veld. Die coaches <\/i>is vaderfigure wat ons motiveer,\u201d s\u00ea die belowende jong doelskieter, wat ook as vleueluitblink.<\/i>\n<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die toer na Swede, s\u00ea hy, sal hom een tree nader bring aan sy droom om \u2019n professionele sokkerspeler te word.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Giano, wat sedert agtjarige ouderdom sokker speel en volgens Gillion in enige posisie uitblink, s\u00ea die geleentheid om voor Europese talentsoekers sokker te speel, is \u2019n droom wat waar geword het \u2013 nie net vir hom nie, maar ook vir sy pa, Anthony Lebron, wat in sy jeug in sokker uitgeblink het, maar nooit soortgelyke geleenthede gehad het nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cToe ek hoor ons al drie gaan, was ek baie opgewonde. Al word net een van ons gekies \u2013 al is dit nie ek nie \u2013 sal ek baie bly wees. Ek het al opgegee op my droom en al my sokkergoed weggee, maar toe begin ek net weer speel.\u201d <\/p>\n
Cleo (23) het uit frustrasie oor die tekort aan geleenthede om in sy gunstelingsportsoort uit te styg, dieselfde gedoen. Maar nes Giano kon hy ook nie lank van die sokkerveld af wegbly nie<\/p>\n
Oor die toer na Swede, s\u00ea hy: \u201cDie harde werk begin nou. Ek glo ons al drie kan dit maak. Ons het nie \u2019n ander keuse nie \u2013 ons moet hierdie geleentheid gebruik sodat ons eendag in die gemeenskap kan terugploeg.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elveno Muller, die president van Hawston FC, is ewe vol vertroue dat die drie suksesvol sal wees en kontrakte met oorsese sokkerklubs kan losslaan. <\/p>\n
Die klub werk tans onverpoos om broodnodige geld vir die spelers in te samel. Die koste van die toer beloop R45 000 per speler. Dit sluit nie die kostes van hul paspoorte, sakgeld en ander persoonlike uitgawes in nie. Elke speler moet teen 1 Julie \u2019n deposito van R5 500 betaal.<\/p>\n
Die spelers het elkeen \u2019n lootjie wat ondersteuners die geleentheid bied om \u2019n halwe skaap vir net R50 te wen. <\/p>\n
Die klub doen \u2019n dringende beroep op die gemeenskap van die Overstrand om Giano, Cleo en Q-Win te help om hul droom te bereik deur geld of items wat uitgeloot kan word om geld in te samel, te skenk.
