My name is Oluwaseyi Olubunmi Sodiya; I am a Nigeria by nationality, I studied Teaching English as a second language, major in English Literature at the faculty of Education, the University Malaya , Kuala-Lumpur in Malaysia . A qualified soccer coach and a soccer player, after completing my secondary school level, I realised that the game of soccer was my passion; I began playing soccer as an amateur then moved up to semi –professional level. Soccer took me everywhere and I enjoyed myself as a soccer player until a huge disappointment. I knew it was the right time to choose study over Playing soccer; I enroled myself for a coaching course at the National Institute for Sports in Lagos, Nigeria and later applied for a degree Course in Malaysia. My interest was to study sports-related courses like P.E or Sports science so that I can channel my skills and sports knowledge towards the course but I was offered TESL which really changed my view and ways of thinking about Choosing careers or future jobs .I will proudly say that it has been a wonderful Journey so far studying TESL for four years at the university of Malaya.
Even though I had disappointment playing soccer in the past I still have a passion for the Game, it's difficult to hide a talent “behavior is like a smoke, you can never cover it “I am an individual that has got a passion for football and alongside with my studies, I coach soccer as a part-time job, I work with Koru Sports Academy coaching football in Alice Smith international school, Mont Kiara International School and many other International Schools in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia .Along the line, I have had the privilege of coaching different kids with a different background, culture and Kids from a rich and poor background. As a Soccer player, a Coach and a Teacher with my experience I should be able to help my students to understand the importance of Sports and Education as they move on in life.
Preparing myself for the next adventure in LIFE .....
