I have been playing football once a week for just over a month now and I have realised something; I’m no footballer!

I have to say – it is quite good fun and definitely a good workout, however unlike most people there I wasn’t brought up on football but instead rugby. I haven’t the understanding or the love of the game and therefore the confidence to really be any good.

When I moved back to Coventry I was thinking about starting playing rugby again but I was nowhere near fit enough and as I had the opportunity to play football I thought it was a good way to play a team game while getting a bit fitter.

Now I am getting fitter (and not getting any better at football) I’m starting to consider playing rugby again, so in a couple of weeks I’ll make a decision after seeing how the gym goes but for now I’ll keep trying to keep up!
