00:04 My boys have been playing football in the yard with me for many years.

00:07 They're very enthusiastic and spend a lot of time trying to improve their game.

00:12 The thing about football that I love most is the passion.

00:15 It's a great game. It's fun to just get out there and play with your mates.

00:18 When I originally applied for the scholarship, I did it to help,

00:21 both with expenses for travelling and also with the media training to better myself.

00:25 Travelling in the distance is very difficult and to be honest,

00:28 without their support, we probably couldn't do it.

00:30 My wife and I are very grateful.

00:32 It would be a great opportunity to play for my country.

00:35 Every night I just wish for that.

00:36 It would be great if my brother and I both play for Australia

00:39 because it would be like a dream come true for both of us,

00:42 for our mum and dad as well because they've supported us through this journey a lot.

00:45 My name's Minio Bonaty. I'm Alex and Liam's father.

00:48 They're Pepper Money Sports Scholarship holders.
