Football is my biggest passion in life, and I spent most of my childhood playing Football. I’ve played for the biggest club in my state (Minas Gerais, Brazil) until I was 15, then moved to Australia where I’ve done some coaching courses. Currently, I bear the “ FFA Youth C License” and the “FFA Skill Training Certificate” I’ve been coaching for St Ives, and in 2020 I was in charge for the U9 SAP and U10 SAP. Coaching with the Brazilian Art Football team has been an amazing and learning experience, and I’m looking forward to next season. I am a Cruzeiro supporter, and the player that I like the most is Fabio (Cruzeiro’s goalkeeper)
Eduardo Carvalho Silva (Caxola)
I am Brazilian, 45, and have played Football since I was 5, and I always enjoyed playing with my friends and had fun with them on and off the field, and I believe this enjoyment is the most import thing in Football. I am a Esporte Clube Bahia supporter and I love going to the stadium with my friends, but I started playing for Galicia FC when I was youth. Currently, I bear the “ FFA Youth C License” and the “FFA Skill Training Certificate” and I’ve been coaching for St Ives since 2018, so the 2021 season will be my 4th season with the club.
