Coach Nui

Interviewer: Nina

“I love playing the sport, I love how soft the grass is and seeing the others improve alongside me. I have been playing football ever since I was a child. I remember practicing every day with my teammates, seeing ourselves improve over time and honing our skills. I eventually got so good at football that I got a scholarship for sixth grade all the way to a master’s degree. I was eventually invited to be a part of a professional football team called “Thai Port FC”. I still remember playing in my first ever league championship with my team. It was very different from a regular tournament because instead of the winner moving on and facing the other winners until the finals, we had to face 20-30 other different teams that faced each other every week. The championship continued on for 2 seasons, and at this time I also started to take up coaching young kids. Helping them to improve, just like how my coach taught me all those years ago. I like helping kids learn to perform drills and seeing them improve over time. I love teaching football to kids and eventually with this passion I landed a job as a PE teacher at Concordian International School. I really enjoy my job as a teacher for the school. I love playing football, I love the skill and teamwork of the game and how soft the grass is against the sole of my shoes because football will always be my favorite sport.”
