Michael Jones - Sports Modern Apprentice

Micheal JonesThrough being in the Football Academy last year I got to travel to America to play in the Dallas Cup. It's an international football youth tournament for Under 19 teams. All the top clubs across the world send teams, Liverpool are the current Super Group champions.

The opportunity to go to the Dallas Cup was a huge selling point of the course for me. Eighteen players plus the coaches and phsyio go. You can't describe why you want to go to the Dallas Cup. It's like a kid wanting to go to a toy shop - you just know it's something you want to do. This year I'm too old to play, but I'm hoping to go back as part of the coaching staff.

To get the chance to go to the Dallas Cup you've got to keep your attendance and your grades up. Your football's the last thing you're selected on. It makes you really knuckle down and work throughout the year.

For some people it was their first time abroad, some people had never been out of South East London, or been on a plane before.

Going to the Dallas Cup was a life changing experience. It was the best experience of my life.
