CAM Nacson did the impossible at the recent NSW Futsal Super League 2008/09 Awards.

The Sydney Uni goalkeeper, whose team finished third last, was named the best keeper in the youth competition.

``I think it almost gave me an advantage because they were firing so many shots at me.

``Even though I let in a lot of goals I had a lot of saves to make,’’ the 17-year-old Bradfield Senior College student said.

Cam, of Lane Cove, conceded 86 goals but was voted by opposing coaches as the goalie of the year.

``It’s a nice feeling to win the award.

``I really like the uniqueness of being a goalkeeper obviously, there is only one per team. I like being the special one.’’

But soccer isn’t his only skill.

A musician and songwriter, Cam says: ``Music is my life.

``I’ve written more than 60 songs so far. I play piano, drums, guitars and a bit of everything.’’

Inspired by Peter Murray and Jason Mraz, he was a finalist in the schoolies section of the 2008 Music Oz song awards.

``I love playing soccer and I hope I play until the day I die but music would take precedence because I just love it.’’

His dad, Angelo, says he has an amazing ability on the pitch and in the recording studio.

``Futsal is a very exciting game and he is very skilful at it, but his singing talents are something out of this world,’’ Angelo said.

``I think both are important to him and they complement each other because the confidence he needs on stage and in goals are very similar.’’
