MYB 040: Life as a Melbourne City FC Academy Player ~ with Beckham Baker
May 23, 2021
Beckham’s football journey is to inspire and motivate young athletes to follow their dreams. He’s very grateful to have had so many opportunities to explore football clubs around the world such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Levante, Barcelona, Real Betis, and Villarreal at such a young age. By exposing himself to these great clubs, it keeps him working harder and dreaming bigger. His family is his number one focus in life and keeps him grounded and humble. Beckham is very grateful for all the support around him.
Becks is currently playing for the U14’s Melbourne City football academy. Playing for the Joeys is his next target in life. He can not express how special and proud it would be to wear the Green and Gold representing Australia. His motivation for football is to one day score the winning goal at the world cup for Australia.
