Affiliations
- My main hobby and interests is playing football, watching football and going to football. It's something that ever since I started playing I have never looked back and have constantly been involved whether its been as a fan going to watch Brighton and hove Albion most weeks regardless of whether it is home or away. But for me playing and coaching is the thing I love most and when I cant play through injuries I get bored very quickly and am just looking for another way to engage in football and this is where coaching comes in as it give me a chance to be involved in football in different way in which i can still play but also give my insight to others in which I aim to make it as beneficial for them as possible. Some of my other hobbies include playing tennis, playing videogames and cooking.
Accomplishments
