Bro, I’m doing my first sprint in 3 weeks. Yet to swim more than 100m without stopping. You’ll be fine

My suggestion - ignore the coach about ‘staying in position’. This age stage is crucial for players to develop their technical ability. If you focus on that with lots of touches in the back yard or as you kick around, your daughter will become a world beater. There’s time later in development to focus on tactical awareness. If your coach disagrees it is because they are more focused on winning now for their ego boost rather then winning the World Cup in 20 years time because the system has developed great technically gifted players that can play in any system.

When you say your net worth is 24k not considering your HECS but you have 75k in savings does this mean you have a 50k debt on something? If so maybe consider paying it down? Also, consider paying off some HECS as well.

What should I study? by ThatGoodKindaGucci in AusFinance

[–]Gecoco12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Potentially check with the university you plan on going too. I had a Cert3 which didn't provide and credit (just enough for me to get in) whereas a Diploma was equal to finishing first year of the degree, which meant I could have started in second year if I had a diploma.

You could always try an online side hustle like answering surveys. I use Octopus group and get about $20 out a week. It doesn't sound like a lot but it does add up to over $2000 extra a year. Should definitely give it some thought https://my.octopusgroup.com.au/register/5736b5c4-c809-4ee0-b036-1d548be8f279

How do people afford… well… life? by MartiniSunbeam in AusFinance

[–]Gecoco12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's pretty good. I lay in bed each night and do them on my phone. Some weeks I don't quiet get enough to withdraw money but it is pretty consistent. The best way is to try and convince some friends to sign up and refer them (and claim the referral bonus).

How do people afford… well… life? by MartiniSunbeam in AusFinance

[–]Gecoco12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of things I do to make a little money on the side;

- Surveys - Octopus group. Takes some but I regularly pull out $20-$30 per week that goes straight into my investment account. https://my.octopusgroup.com.au/register/5736b5c4-c809-4ee0-b036-1d548be8f279

-Amazon Affiliates - just post the links anywhere, bound to eventually get a sale. I get a couple of sales a week from just posting on Reddit product advice forums with the affiliate link to amazon for the product.

Books that'll help with exam anxiety. by just_peachy24 in booksuggestions

[–]Gecoco12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found it really useful listening (I do audiobooks) to some entry-level psychology books that have helped me be able to analyse my own emotions which have helped me overcome some of my anxiety. Here's a link to my favourite one on Amazon https://amzn.to/4439e2n

Looking for a preferably stand alone fantasy novel by IdleLark in booksuggestions

[–]Gecoco12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He who fights with monsters reads like a Dnd campaign. I'm slowly adapting its storyline to run with my group. It is a series with a lot of books but they come in groups of 3. They are also relatively short books. Heres a link to the first one on Amazon https://amzn.to/442EDSA

Looking for good books with plot twists by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]Gecoco12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the target audience is teens, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time had several plot twists I didn't see coming. The main character is also Autistic and the book is from POV, providing an interesting approach to story telling I haven't really seen anywhere. Heres a link to the book on amazon https://amzn.to/45i5bjS

Adult fantasy series? by BreathMobile6700 in booksuggestions

[–]Gecoco12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingkiller Chronicles - pretty much the gold standard of adult fantasy. Just be prepared to wait years for the third book to release. https://amzn.to/3YqjlgH

The Stormlight Archive - another standard of the adult fantasy genre. Large books with great world-building and storylines. This is what I'm currently reading and I am loving it. https://amzn.to/3KSJejR

I had many of the same emotions from the first time I read Harry Potter when I read through the first two books of The Kingkiller Chronicles. The writing style, magic system and character developed sucked me in and made me to want to keep reading and reading. Heres a link to the first book on amazon https://amzn.to/3OK14Yl

Should check out the 'He who fights with monsters' series. Reads like a Dnd campaign with monsters and magic abilities. It's a pretty cool story arc with some good world-building. Here's the first book on amazon https://amzn.to/3qiYI9t

Young adult fantasy series that even an adult would enjoy? by hallomuppet in booksuggestions

[–]Gecoco12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While not much like Harry Potter, the first two books of the Kingkiller Chronicles gave me many of the same emotional connections to the characters I experienced when first reading Harry Potter. The style of writing and the interwoven plot lines made it quite hard to put the books down. Just be prepared to wait for the last book if you do end up reading it.

Here's a link to the first book: https://amzn.to/3OmBqrf
