KEY TAKEAWAYS
- On 11 June the national team qualified for the next stage of the world cup, this has lit up the football followers in this inspiring country.
- I'm here because I have a job to do as part of a team and at the press conference a plethora of journalists, reporters and media were keen to know how we were going to impact on the players moving forward.
- The coaching staff have already put in place some key fundamentals for the 60 boys who range in age from 14 to 19.
- It's refreshing to meet young people with respect, a hunger for knowledge, an obvious passion to succeed and a desire to move on I'm sure their journey is going to be a great one.
- I had no idea I was going to end up working in Asia, but it is the culmination of many hours, late nights, doing things when others are relaxing and the support of my family.
- It's about doing the hard yards and making sacrifices in order to keep breaking down those barriers and making those incremental steps that lead us forward.
- What the outcomes will be nobody knows but we are going to endeavour to make this a massive success.
- For this opportunity, I am truly grateful, and it will get the best of me and the best of what I can give it.
