Martin is a huge inspiration to his community, being a perfect candidate for this oppertunity. Starting 4 years ago martin has committed himself to coach a local school football team, giving up his saturday and sunday mornings every week without fail to support his under 13's football team. The enthusiam and excitement on the children's faces every weekend and the amount of pride they have towards martin truely show how beneficial the team is, ensuring their skills keep expanding and that the children are off the streets, not causing trouble! He had done this for 4 years and hasn't taken a penny for his time, he does this out of love for the game and his passion to get kids into, and keep them involved in sports. Martin has also taken it upon himself to organise a skydive for his team gathering together enough money to supply the children with brand new kits to wear for the season. Martin also referee's for his communities local teams on sunday afternoons after coaching. He has also done this for 5 years and again, feels very strongly about spreading his love for football. In September Martin is also continuing raising money for charities by running the Great North Run for a local cancer charity. His passion to help others shines through and his enthusiasum for football can be seen whenever he talks about this hobby. Due to his ongoing uprise with the team his confidence and passion is soaring, this oppertunity would be a great reward for his hardwork throughout the years
