Seventeen-year-old football fan Sam attended the Melbourne City Young Leaders Week as part of the 2018 DCA Summer Holiday Program, an initiative run by Melbourne City Football Club to educate and empower young people to use football as a force for social good in their communities.

Sam has played football since he was seven, including as Under-16 Captain for the Leongatha Knights, and now coaches the Under-8 junior team with his brother. He wanted to get more involved with Melbourne City and build his coaching and leadership experience through the program.
