For a number of years, he has helped to run the Auskick program at Caulfield Bears, and coaches the grade 1 group and the group for participants in grade 2 and above on Friday nights alongside his good friend Harvey. He has also stepped in to assist while the other coaches have been absent, working with maturity and confidence beyond his age.
