I have once obtained a position on the Deans Merit List and I am a member of the Golden Key Honour Society. I had served as a member of the Disciplinary Committee of the South Peninsula Local Football Association. My duties included regulating the conduct of the players and meting out appropriate sanctions when necessary. This provided me with the opportunity to help build a legacy for future players. I am extremely proud of this role as it had helped me to contribute to the community as football has served as a vital tool in keeping many youths off the streets, away from the negative influences such as crime and peer pressure.
