Hi, I’m Alex Willem Pattinson. I was born on October 14, 2011, in East Melbourne, and from as early as I can remember, soccer has been a huge part of my life. My dad, who is not only my biggest supporter but also my coach and mentor, introduced me to the game. He’s a true soccer fanatic, and thanks to him, I developed a deep love for the sport at a very young age.

I started playing officially when I joined MiniRoos, and in 2019, I took my first steps into small-sided community football in Castlemaine. Even during the pandemic, I never stopped playing—I had the opportunity to train and compete in Sunraysia, keeping my passion for the game alive. After that, I joined Spring Gully FC, where I played under my coach, Michael, in the Under-11s.

In 2024, I took another step forward in my journey by joining Bendigo City FC’s Under-13 team. Now, in 2025, I’m continuing to develop my skills with Bendigo City’s Under-14 squad, working hard to improve every aspect of my game.

Aside from outdoor soccer, I’ve also been dedicated to Futsal. For the past four years, I’ve been playing with Otorongos, a team coached by my dad. Futsal has helped sharpen my technical skills, quick decision-making, and ball control, all of which have made me a better player on the field. Our team has been Futsal champions for the last three years, and we’re always pushing to stay at the top.

My ultimate dream is to become a professional footballer. I’m constantly training, learning, and pushing myself to reach the highest level possible. I know the road to professionalism takes a lot of dedication, hard work, and resilience, but I’m ready for the challenge. Every match, every training session, and every moment on the pitch brings me one step closer to my goal.

This is just the beginning of my journey, and I can’t wait to see where football takes me. 🚀⚽
