I like to endure in general knowledge from time to time

I love everything to do with food and cooking

Coaching/Playing Football

I've played football almost all my life and have come to have a deep and close connection to the sport. It heals me and keeps me at peace and i spend most of my time now watching it. My first and only time ever coaching was back in 2023 where i coached an under 14D side at Durbanville Football Club. The boys made me one of the most happiest coaches, nay, the most happiest man in the world while i coached them, they were respectful and well behaved and very much wanted to learn more about football, everyday with them was a blessing in disguise and i loved every second of coaching. I never returned the following year because i had a falling out with the club, none the less i would love to coach again and hopefully i will get to coach this year again.
