Yesterday afternoon I decided to take a drive to the shopping mall to price sports equipment, well who would have thought that this trip would be a nightmare. I could not believe how impatient and rude people are at times on the road, from an impatient horn blowing when a vehicle took a little bit […]
Football has been a passion since I can remember and that is one of the reasons, I started First Touch FC in 2011. During one of the weekend football sessions the Mum of one of the players was telling me that football has become a special time in their lives. She continued telling me that […]
I am a firm believer in waking up early in the morning, even on bitterly cold mornings. This morning was no different but somehow the saying “an early bird catches the worm” was the first thing I thought of as well as, why do we want to improve ourselves? I am sure that it is […]
