Week 2

Hey All, thought its about time that i add to this for all you avid readers.

Well last week finished with me applying for a few jobs down the sport management field, as im avoiding teaching and trying to develop further in other areas.  Played 80mins of footy on saturday and that was good, we played one of the top teams and only went down by 4, i played first 5/8 and was a bit rusty so to speak after 5 months away, but was still good, was a bit sore sunday and monday but sorted now.

Greg and I have moved out of the flat and are in a sleep out together now with 4 outher boys from rugby, so pretty nice house and we are out the back..currently sleeping on airbeds until we find some cheap beds to buy, hasnt been to bad after one night.  Monky is pretty sick at the moment so he is sleeping inside so he doesnt keep me awake.

I coached at the wasps academy on saturday, stole some free kit and then went to the wasps vs leicester game and sat in the corporates at adams park and got a free feed so was pretty happy, ill chuck some photos on of that.

Today i had a job interview for a job where i work for sport england, wheel power (disabled sport organsiation) and bucks university as theire disabled sport co-ordinator, pretty much i set up courses and get people to take them to get people that are disabled involved in the administration etc of there own sports, so courses on coaching, officiating, management etc.  Its all building up for the 2012 paralympics so these people can be used as the volunteers to run the games pretty much..At the moment the post is 20 hours a week and will be about 5 months long at this stage with the chance of going on further, the first courses will run in april so have to get set up by then...Ill be incharge of finding people to take the courses, and maybe teaching a few myself, we are using state of the art technology where we can get people to take a course from the other side of the world and we will link it in to the classroom ill have at where i work and we can do everything via video link, so pretty exciting...Possibly making the rest of the workign week up with personal training work..  So hopefully this will get me through until about august and then im plannign on doing a contiki around europe by myself..  This job has the chance of going fulltime so might not need the personal training, but aslong as i get some money coming in, will be making about double of what i was as a teacher a fortnight so thatts a good thing.

blair the guy who has sorted the job for me is part of our club, so he told me that i prety much have the job and will be confirmed this week..so heres a start i guess, will be good to get amongst a new challenge, something that ill be soley responsible for and can be driving, pretty happy about that...

I booked my flights the other day to the runnign of the bulls in early july, so when work begins i better put in for some leave for that.  AS soon as rugby finishes ill be looking to do as many international trips as possible on the weekends.  Spain in may also for rugby so that will be good times..

Other than that ive got the rest of the week to myself, the new place we have moved into has everything, so might watch a few movies etc.  will catch up with people in a week or so, if you have SKYPE i can chat to you on there as we now have a better internet connection and a webcam..

catch ya
