Photography and Soccer coaching

I also am a photographer who have been running a photography studio for one year. 

I am a good soccer coach who is well known in Zimbabwe at district and provincial levels. The age groups I have coached in Zimbabwe upto provincial level are the Under 5, Under 17 and Under 19. I could not get the opportunity to demonstrate my coaching skills in South Africa since the school I am teaching at does not have facilities.
