About
I am Sharvin Karthik, a Primary 6 student from Rosyth School. I play mainly as a winger, focusing on making good decisions, persevering and supporting my team in both attack and defence.
I carry these same values off the field by being responsible, disciplined and doing my best in everything I do. My grit and consistency have been recognised by my coaches and teachers through the trust and responsibilities I have been given.
Sport · Football
Position: Winger · Lion City Sailors → FC Barcelona Select Team
I started my football journey with Lion City Sailors, where I built my foundations through regular training and competitive matches. Playing in JSSL leagues gave me experience in structured competition and strengthened my understanding of team play.
One challenge I faced was making quicker decisions during matches. Through training and coach feedback, I improved my awareness and learned when to pass, move or take on players.
I have competed in JSSL and SYL leagues across multiple seasons, adapting to different opponents and contributing to attacking play and team results.
Now training with the FC Barcelona Select Team, I play as a winger, using my pace and movement to create space and support the team in both attack and defence.
“One of his best strengths is his natural speed. He's one of the quickest in the team, which allows him to be effective in a few positions.”

Sport · Track & Field
I train in track and field to build speed and stamina, which supports my performance as a winger.
Leadership & Service
2026 · Rosyth School
Have you ever heard of organising a beach clean-up for a birthday? I did that.
I learned that leadership is not about the position you hold, but the acts of service you carry out. This idea stayed with me after attending a secondary school open house in Primary 5, and it changed how I see leadership.
Since then, I have tried to lead through my actions by taking initiative, supporting others and doing my part both in school and outside. Being awarded Best Camper in Primary 5 showed my willingness to do what is needed, even when it is not easy. I was also awarded the NYAA Butterfly Award, recognising my consistency and commitment.
Award · 2025
National Youth Achievement Award · Singapore · Entry Tier
The NYAA Butterfly Award recognises consistency and commitment across the National Youth Achievement Award’s entry-tier components. Earning it required sustained effort over months — not a one-off achievement — and reflects the same approach I bring to football and school.
“It was indeed very heartening to witness his leadership and maturity as a prefect, doing his part for the community and environment, and being brave to be adventurous.”
“It has been a pleasure working with Sharvin and witnessing his sense of responsibility and enthusiasm in the various opportunities provided.”
What I'm Working On
I will be attending training in Barcelona, Spain to further develop my technical skills and gain exposure to a higher level of football after my PSLE.
In secondary school, I hope to contribute to the school team. I also plan to continue serving as a prefect and take on greater responsibilities, while progressing to the next level of the NYAA Awards.
