Hi. What’s your name? My name is Nathan Curtis Gildart. Well, my name is Nathan, but people call me Nate, so. OK, What do you do in your free time? Do a lot. A lot of different things. I like to travel around. I like to go to places I’ve never been. I like to play guitar in a band, which I’m not in right now. I like to play soccer. I play soccer a lot. And I play futsal too. Futsal. What’s that? Futsal is a 5A side soccer game. So it’s it’s played on a small court about the size of a basketball court. And the ball is smaller than a soccer ball. It’s kind of heavy. And you have five people. So there’s four players and one keeper goalie. Oh, interesting. Is it similar to soccer in other ways? Well, it’s similar in ways that, you know, you pass the ball, but it’s different in ways that, for example, you, you, you have a stop clock in the international futsal games and professional games. So there’s a stop clock.

The, the way you move around is very different. You know, you, you have positions like midfield forward defense, but often a defender can find themselves playing forward, which is kind of fun because defenders get a chance to score too. OK, here’s the last question. Which do you prefer soccer or the big football or a football? That’s, that’s a difficult question. I think at the moment I enjoy futsal a little bit more because it’s a harder pace, you’re running a lot faster, there’s more chances to score. It’s it’s really, it’s a really challenging game. It takes a lot of energy and the the five guys that you play with, there’s only five people. So you really depend on each other to do well. So it’s it’s a real team sport. You really need each other. Thank you.
