Can You Identify Young Talent?
Mar 02, 2013Posted by james

I doubt that you have heard about Emilie Buse. Allow me to share her wonderful success with you.

Emilie played soccer as a youngster and then she starred at SUNY Purchase. As a freshman, she led the Panthers to the North East Atlantic Conference title and she was named tournament MVP. Then, Purchase College moved into the Skyline Conference, and Emilie was selected as first team All-Conference one season and second team All-Conference during another season.

Emilie also has enjoyed the game as a referee, and she was named the Capital District Youth Soccer League’s young female referee for 2007. She also has officiated in the East Hudson Youth Soccer League, for the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association State Cup finals and for the Region 1 finals.

In the Eastern New York State Senior Association, Emilie has officiated in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the Eastern District Soccer League. She also has worked games in the Premier Development League and has three FIFA international games to her credit.

Earlier this year, this Westchester County resident received the Jose Vargas Award as the 2012 Eastern New York soccer referee of the year. The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association stretches from Montauk Point to the Canadian border, and it includes 123,000 players.

Emilie Buse certainly has an impressive resume, and she is just 24-years-old.

Emilie’s success can be attributed to her talent, her commitment to the game she enjoys, and her willingness to continue to learn and improve to achieve her goals. The keen eye of just one soccer official helped her along the way and opened a door or two that led to new opportunities for her. Today, she continues to open new doors in an exciting soccer career.

I, too, scout for new talent. Sometimes a name is shared with me, and at other times I receive a good vibe about a person I have met during a business or casual meeting, or even at a social function. I enjoy helping our young adults get started. By opening a door for them to step through, I can place them on their journey to career success.

I am always looking for rising stars just like Emilie. Contact me if you know of one with potential.
