Exiles interview with Coach
With the onset of some pretty huge milestones: 500 members, 12 months in operation. In the coming weeks and months I thought it might be a good time to do an in depth, leave no stone unturned interview of our fearless leader, owner and operator and CEO of thewholeforce.com, members and visitors I give you the one, the only Coach………..
So tell us a little about Coach. Who are you? What do you do? What are you in to?
I am father to 2, husband to one, and Site Administrator to 496.
I try do as little as possible as often as possible in all my ventures and pursuits, so I guess you could say I am into procrastination, obfuscation, and avoidance
When did you first get in to Rugby? In what way? Where you a player?
When I was a kid, i tried aussie rules, but couldn;t get the passing thing going and thought it was cheating that some dudes were always hanging around the goal waiting for the ball so went looking further a field. The only other local sport was soccer which was full of wimpy poms - I finally found rugby - a 40 minutes bus and train ride away. I think I was in grade 5 at the time. Loved it, and I did OK on the paddock. Wish I had never stopped when I moved to Perth in '84.
What made you start up thewholeforce.com?
total disappointment with what was out there on the net, so I thought I'd start something myself. I wanted more information, and by sharing what little I could collect I was hoping others would share what they had too - it was totally self serving.
How is the website you planned compare to what we see today?
Pretty much spot on - there are a few other features I'd like to see such as a TWF integrated tipping system, but otherwise it is as I envisaged
Are you happy with the progress you have made so far?
Yep
Any mistakes along the way?
No, not really -but there is always tomorrow
Any upgrades in the works?
No, none at the moment
In 5 years time where do you see thewholeforce.com?
Supporting a dual premiership team ;)
So thats it - I couldn't think of much more to ask Coach - and getting him to answer what he did was very greatly appreciated.
So to Coach thanks for answering my questions. and thanks for providing me with such and entertaining home to visit each and every day. For me this is post 1000. Thanks to all that make TheWholeForce.com what it is.
