Playing Style

You run the length of it, penalty area to penalty area, all match. The defensive recovery ends and the forward burst has already begun.Arriving late makes you hard to track, and free shots at goal keep presenting themselves. The more runs you make, the more scoring chances find you.It isn't trickery that separates you — it's the volume and timing of runs. And you're the one with a goal left in the legs at the death.The space you vacate is a teammate's to fill; the whole team is drawn up around that bargain.

What You're Like

A person of sheer energy reserves — once committed, you run it all the way in. Work that moves suits you better than meetings that don't.

Strong sense of duty; you'll overrun your brief to bring back the result. When everyone else has half given up, the one hand still raised is usually yours. Put a number on the target and you ignite — deadline work fits you perfectly.

Pacing, however, isn't your gift: too fast early, paying for it late. You have learned the value of rest many times and forgotten it just as many. You sprint knowing you're sprinting, so the braking has to come from someone else.

Stillness bores you — days off involve motion, hobbies involve scoreboards, and sometimes your competitiveness makes the room step back. But a night's sleep resets any defeat, and nothing drags on. Your philosophy is that time spent worrying is better spent moving, and it does, in fact, keep working.
