Arif Pavel Ahmed

Cross country coach, Surat Community Club

🇮🇳 Surat, Gujarat, India
Surat Community Club
2006 to 2016
English, Bengali

I coached cross country at Surat Community Club from 2006 to 2016. Most of my players were between 12 and 13, and a lot of them turned into friends for life. Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I stayed late on Thursdays for anyone who needed it.
