HOBBIES
I absolutely love football and going to the gym. I have played at a high level of full time football from a very young age. I visit the gym 5 days a week and train football specifically to improve as an athlete. I also enjoy playing a number of other sports such as Table tennis, Badminton, Padel, Basketball, and Volleyball. I also enjoy tracking my nutrition through meals I eat through the day. I like to stay up to date on the major news going on around the world, and occasionally enjoy trying new activities when I have time.
