I was informed on one particular day, after I had finished a football session with my coach, that there was a football boot/shoe donation that he was organizing in order to get many football-playing kids across Sri Lanka better equipped to play the game. I was instantly interested in the idea, firstly because it would be a great thing to participate in since I believe that football is a sport that should be accessible for all, and also due to the fact that I had a few spare boots which I outgrew over time.
So without hesitation, I brought my old boots in our next session and bid them a quiet farewell as I gave them to my Coach.
