Good day, I'm Decentric.
Fantastic that Pasquali has started this forum. FTBL Forum has sadly declined. The owner has lost interest and isn't making any money from it.
As well as as a football fan, I'm a geriatric fitness fanatic - performing circuit weight training almost daily and a keen practising martial artist (having had my own modern karate club at a school).
I'm on a 6 person National Executive for one of the biggest organisations in Aus, with 1.5 million members, in the retired section. I'm also a Vice Pres of a Policy Action Caucus for the state for a big political party. Moreover, I'm a very active political activist.
I like swimming in the sea a lot in summer and like long walks on the beach - like Erogenous Zone. I take my dog and sometimes my daughter's on these walks.
I'm also state President of the Craft Beer Association. I like cooking - and eating nice food even more! I love parties and beer tasting events. Also, enjoy live music.
I'm a semi-retired infant teacher and a former professional drummer and teacher. Also, a Cricket Tas Member, that has a lot of social events! Watch a lot of high level cricket with other cricket tragics.
I've played underage football for the state, and played NPL senior and youth football. I've coached junior suburban teams, rep teams that feed into underage state teams and been a TD of a country football club, plus a TD of an NPL club. One underage rep team won a state title. Another senior women's team I coached won a provincial 7 a side title - competing against some NPL senior teams .
I've coached one current Socceroo - for a brief time. That was during my tenure as a coach with the state branch of now Football Australia, known then as FFA. I learned so much from many coach educators, top coaches in Aus and overseas in a short time. However, it was all very serious, with little social events - like at clubs.
The best coaching experience was coaching as a TD at a country football club. They had a great bar and clubrooms. Enjoyed drinking craft beer with the senior teams of both genders after games! Some of the other coaching positions were a bit too serious, with a lot of responsibility.
Stopped coaching football with a bad back - and loved having no responsibility, more craft beer drinking time with mates, instead loving others taking yoga, pilates and triggerpoint classes I attended.They have all the responsibility instead of me.
