Free Flow of Football

I got a taste of what it likes to be on football every single day for a week...I'm loving it..although the wifey is not that happy..

My footy week started on 31st Oct with me making my debut for Asterix Reds. Did okay..but will not reveal my debut result here.

On 1st Nov, I was involve in a Charity Tournament for our former Malaysian International goalkeeper, Khairul Azman. It was a good tourney, we ended up losing in penalties in the quarters and guess what...the legends comprising Zainal Abidin, Dollah Salleh and others schooled the young boys of the tournament and became Champions...Brilliant stuff



On 2nd November, I started my coaching education. It was conducted by FAM Technical Director, Coach Lim Kim Chon ( His bro, Lim Teong Kim, another Malaysian Legend, is now coaching the Bayern U19 team ), Coach Kok, and Coach Haji Zaki with COach Richard Scully making an appearance in the Goalkeeping subject. For the next 6 days, I did learn alot. Although I have 6 years experience of coaching youth in Shanghai, the knowledge pass on by Coach Lim is is very very useful. I'm looking forward to complete my Level 1 and 2 in order for me to obtain the AFC C and hope to get another chance to learn under Coach Lim. You never stop learning as a coach !!



My weekend of football ended on the 6th Nov...with some spare time to chill with the family.
But then my football never ends..coaching sessions as usual...and I'm planning some tournaments for the boys at Mont Kiara FC. Looking for much much more footy..Its never enough for me..

Owh..by the way, just got a mate from Dublin..Malaysian coach, called me up and chat about our local football...And I think i mention GRASSROOT loads fo time !!
