Coach Fatma
Cross country and fitness coach, Istanbul

- Since 2003
- English, Turkish
I've coached cross country at Sunrise Sports Club since 2003. Most of my players were between 10 and 16, 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 keep a jar of spare pencils on my desk.
More about Coach Fatma

What gifts mean to Coach Fatma: A gift would go toward kit and bus fares for kids who can't afford them.
