Unlike my spectating record, my coaching record these past months is just a paltry 50% (1-of-2).

I guess it’s OK, considering that the 1st game was played without any subtitute player for 40mins. My first time coaching since 2003.

I was asked to fill again as coach last Friday. I suspected they just needed an old guy at the side to call for timeouts.

We were neck to neck from start till finish. Had my heart racing all the time. These Year 11s (15-17yo) can play, they just needed guidance every now and then on things to do when situation changes. All of us needs it.

I do pity the opponents; our boys would foul them really hard – like I would personally grit my teeth when it happened. Stopped the opponents from scoring, that’s for sure.

Had to apologise to the opposing coach and tell him I am just the substitute coach, no full control over the boys. He did muttered something along the line of “That’s rubbish, mate….unsportsmanship foul…”.🤷

Ah well, at least it’s just a temporary stint. Who knows.

Stay hungry, stay safe.
