Welcome to our blog! The design of the blog and Matt's Intro

Welcome to our blog all about sport! We as Aussies love sport and the purpose of this blog is to bring you current news about what is going on in the sporting world.

First off we thought that it would be good if we introduce ourselves and our sports backgrounds in separate posts. My name is Matt and I am in second year studying Com (Finance ) and love a lot of different sports. I grew up with a good rugby background and attended one Australia's rugby sanctuaries in St Joseph's College Hunters Hill from year 7 til year 12. There we watched nearly every home and away fixture in first 15 schoolboys for the entirety of our schooling. I also used to play when I was at school and still referee and play touch regularly.

I also love tennis and played in the 1st team at school for a few years. I have played since I was 6 and always found it to be my favorite summer sport. Once I left school I began to coach tennis regularly, coaching at a variety of places including schools and privately. There I have coached kids from the age of 4 all the way to adults aged 50. I still follow tennis avidly, having a great amount of respect for the top 3- Novak, Rafa and Federer.

Lastly, I love my golf and have been a member at Killara golf club for around 4 years. I started playing when I was around 8 with my dad, and although its a pretty frustrating game have managed to maintain a love for it til now. Jason Day is my favourite professional golfer and my favourite tournament is of course the masters at August, Georgia each year.

The design of our blog aimed for simplicity to reach our target audience of young Australian males who love sport. An outline of the design for our blog can be seen in the below drawing:
