His technical ability, game intelligence, and versatility make him a valuable asset on the field, while his leadership and sportsmanship set him apart. Zydon consistently rises to challenges, demonstrating resilience and a winning mindset in every match. With his skill set, determination, and attitude, I have no doubt that he has the potential to achieve great success in football. "
- Coach Jensen Rogers
"I consider Zydon one of the top athletes who have ever walked through our school doors or has competed in Bermuda. It is not often tiny Bermuda, much less Warwick Academy, the oldest school in the western hemisphere, sees an athlete of such high caliber. Our school has been blessed with several world class athletes, including World Triathlon Champion, Commonwealth and Olympic Gold Medalist Flora Duffy and I believe from the bottom of my heart that Zydon also has the potential and attributes to be a world beater.
Zydon has drawn attention from professional football teams, and I am glad he has recently received attention for both his football and track talents. I hope he will continue developing in both areas until he is 100% sure of which path would best suit his development as a young man, student and athlete. "
- Mark Thorne Activities & Athletic Director, Warwick Academy
I have had the pleasure of coaching Zydon since he joined the SCC program at U7. Zydon has consistently demonstrated a high level of performance through all age groups. This has seen him achieve numerous individual awards and selection for the U14 National Team. Zydon has great athletic attributes and goal scoring prowess. He has also demonstrated a commitment to developing other aspects of his game to become a well-rounded footballer.
Above all, Zydon is a very respectful young man and is able to foster positive relationships with his peers.
Vashun Blanchette – Former President of SCC and Coach
After years of observing Zydon from a distance and now having the opportunity to work closely with him as his football coach, it is clear to me that he possesses the drive and ability to break through any barrier he sets his mind to.
Zydon is an exceptionally talented athlete, fueled by a level of determination that sets him apart. A natural leader among his peers, he consistently leads by example — always highly competitive, regardless of the sport. On the football field, he stands out as a consistent top goal scorer for the SCC Somerset Trojans youth teams. His instinct for finding the back of the net is second nature, and more recently, he has begun developing a keen eye for creating chances for his teammates as well.
Zydon Lightbourne Furbert is a special talent, and I truly believe the world is his footstool. Wishing you all the best, Zydon. Good luck on your journey.
Danvers Seymour – SCC Coach & Technical Director
Zydon is a rare talent, both on and off the field, he possesses prodigious athletic ability, particularly in football/soccer and in track & field. What truly sets Zydon apart is his character. He is disciplined, determined, and remarkably well-rounded. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, he also achieves strong academic results, reflecting his intelligence, work ethic and commitment to excellence. He carries himself with humility and kindness, making him not just a standout performer, but also a lovely young man who is a pleasure to be around. Zydon is maturing beautifully, and I have every confidence that he will continue to thrive in any environment he chooses to pursue. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or in life, he brings integrity, leadership, and a quiet confidence that inspires those around him.
