Testimonial by Thomas McWilliams - overseas player

"I have been affiliated with Total Football Academy since I was 14 years old.  Under the guidance of Adem Poric, I was presented with a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to move over to England and train with Sheffield Wednesday Premier Club from January through to May 2010.  After training with the Sheffield Wednesday Academy team for only two weeks, I was given the amazing opportunity of training with the Sheffield Wednesday First Team, an experience I will always treasure!  Adem suggested to me that I could further my football and also continue with my education by getting a scholarhip to an American College.  This idea really appealed to me.  So with the help of both Sheffield Wednesday and Total Football Academy, I was able to secure a great scholarship deal with Saint Francis University, which is in the NCAA Division 1 North East Conference.  I can't believe I am now playing football for the 'Saint Francis University Red Flash'.  I would like to thank Adem and Total Football Academy for everything they have done to help me achieve my football aspirations, as well as receiving an excellent University education in the process.
