S1: From Vision Australia. This is talking vision. And now here's
S1: your host, Sam Colley.
S2: Hello everyone. It's great to be here with you. And
S2: for the next half hour, we talk matters of blindness
S2: and low vision.
S3: Having that perspective really gives me the passion to want
S3: to play a blind football game myself with other players
S3: who want to become a blind football player. So I
S3: really feel like if I can expand that word out there,
S3: that we can play blind football together and enjoy the
S3: game to help the future of the game, I really
S3: feel that's important.
S2: Welcome to the program. Kicking off the show this week,
S2: we've got a discussion with Sebastian. He's been a coach
S2: and a referee in the world of blind football for
S2: quite some time. You may have heard his voice on
S2: Talking vision and Vision sports in the past, but he's
S2: back to talk to us all about a national blind
S2: football series which recently took place. Then after that conversation
S2: with Sebastian, I'm joined by a group of friends from
S2: the Vision Australia office in Brisbane who are heading off
S2: to the track for vision next March in New Zealand
S2: to raise vital funds for Vision Australia. So if you'd
S2: love to hear a bit more about the track, make
S2: sure to stay tuned. I hope you enjoy this week's
S2: episode of Talking Vision. Sebastian Petrovich is a sorted referee,
S2: coach and player involved in blind football in Australia, and
S2: he's here to chat to me all about not only
S2: the recent national series which took place in Melbourne, but
S2: also to spread the word about blind football and to
S2: encourage people around the country to get involved. Sebastian, welcome
S2: back to Talking Vision. Thanks so much for your time.
S3: Oh, it is great to be in here again and
S3: thank you very much for having me.
S2: Now, you've been up to quite a fair bit lately.
S2: Tell us a bit about the national series that's been
S2: going on. Oh, it's.
S3: Been amazing series. We had a national series for the
S3: Australian national team, the blind football team. And the great
S3: thing was they had two series of games to get through,
S3: and we completed the second one just recently out of
S3: the Essendon campus there for the bombers, where we've got
S3: the complex set up for the actual match. When we
S3: set it up and looking back and just going over
S3: the two series, we had South Melbourne lose the first game,
S3: you know, one nil against a Brisbane team that was
S3: made up of, you know, the Sydney players as well
S3: and players from interstate. So yeah it went well. The
S3: second game was a two nil victory for South Melbourne
S3: you know. So it was they took out the two
S3: one aggregate of the series and they took out the
S3: championship for the national blind series. So it was a
S3: big congratulations for the South Melbourne team which I'm familiar
S3: with the locals here who do training sessions. And it
S3: was great to be a part of it and also
S3: to see that big improvement in the match experience.
S2: And what was your role in particular in the national series?
S2: I understand you've been a blind football referee for quite
S2: some time. What sort of things were you involved with
S2: over the weekend?
S3: I normally go there and we spend two nights and
S3: help with assisting with the coaching side, but this time
S3: in the last time I was there just for the
S3: match as an official referee. So I went there just
S3: to make sure that the match was safe, making sure
S3: that the game is played through the updated rules and
S3: making sure that I was there just this time for
S3: the official referee role and helping assist the new referee
S3: who was there learning both games, the first and last,
S3: and he was there last year. So yeah, I was here.
S3: This final match was just to focus on the final
S3: game and make sure that I'm focused in on that.
S3: So yeah, my role at this time was to get
S3: through it safely and it was good.
S2: And Sebastian, I understand you were involved in setting up
S2: a Braille pitch for some blind football players in the past.
S2: Tell us about.
S3: That. Sam, I had a great, great support from Vision Australia.
S3: I come up with a great idea for the players
S3: who play blind football, and the idea around was to
S3: give confidence to the blind athletes, particularly in the blind
S3: football pitch. So I contacted Vision Australia, who has a
S3: special equipment. It's a special machine where they do the braille,
S3: and I was fascinated about how I can develop a
S3: pitch that's 20 by 40 with the lines and everything,
S3: and the wording of each section of the pitch, and
S3: to break it down into for details. When a player
S3: uses their hands on the pitch on, say, the penalty area,
S3: it would say penalty area six metres and then the
S3: eight metre penalty area would have an information of. This
S3: is where the penalty area is with the braille and
S3: the markings on the pitch. So the idea around that
S3: was when these blind athletes who are new to the
S3: game and they're coming into the match situation, they've already
S3: got mapped in their head, you know, roughly where it is.
S3: But then when they fill the Braille court and they've
S3: got their own personalised braille pitch of the football pitch,
S3: it just gives them that confidence and they can go
S3: away home and study the pitch in the measurements, because
S3: in the blind football pitch measurements, it's very important to
S3: know where exactly you're on the pitch by meters, whether
S3: the guide is telling you, oh, you're five meters away,
S3: you've got to shoot or you're at the ten meter
S3: mark and now it's six and eight. Now the player
S3: is ready to shoot. But the more they studied that
S3: pitch and they got that personalised Braille pitch, I just
S3: feel like it was a no brainer. But also for them,
S3: they loved it. You know, we've got a lot of
S3: players in the national team, Australia that I do individual
S3: coaching with and they I handed them that after developing
S3: it with Vision Australia and they really, really appreciated it.
S3: I've got one for myself because as you know, I
S3: can see it and it's got green and white, the
S3: pitch lining, but the vision impaired can't see it. So
S3: they've got the Braille. So it works both way when
S3: even I'm instructing another referee where to be on the pitch,
S3: I use it as well. So it's really multi-purpose, but
S3: also for the future. May be tennis can be used
S3: in blind sports Braille pitches as well. And that was
S3: the other idea around other blind sports as well.
S2: As I've said, you've been involved as a referee for
S2: quite some time. That's taken you all around the world.
S2: As I understand you've been in Japan for a fair bit, Australia, obviously,
S2: but what sort of got you into being a referee
S2: for blind soccer in the first place?
S3: Oh, it was, you know. This passion I had for
S3: learning something new, you know, and being a soccer athlete
S3: and a footballer. It gave me this curiosity to become
S3: a qualified referee. So, you know, going to Japan and
S3: learning how high level they are and seeing them do
S3: their competitions there. It made me really, really passionate about
S3: learning this new role as a blind football referee. So
S3: I just really wanted to learn. I wanted to become qualified.
S3: And once I did, a lot of these opportunities opened
S3: up because no one in Australia has the qualification to
S3: officiate the games. So I loved it. And, you know,
S3: I just I grabbed it with both hands and I
S3: basically wanted to be that ambassador here where I could
S3: teach the local players of what it takes to play
S3: in a competition game and to play in the game,
S3: which is quite so many different things, you know, to learn.
S3: So yeah, it was a great achievement for myself.
S2: And on that some teaching point, you've been quite heavily
S2: involved with some physical education over the past little while.
S2: I believe you've gone around to a few schools, but
S2: there's one in particular that's close to your heart. So,
S2: you know, tell us a bit about the education work
S2: that you've been doing. You know, teaching kids all about
S2: blind football.
S3: Oh, it has been a phenomenal, you know, last month
S3: and also over the years. But recently Trinity College, which
S3: is where I had a role as a coach there
S3: with youth development and seniors, but they've asked me to
S3: come in and and educate them on the football players.
S3: They're in the sports section. What's blind? Football. And, you know,
S3: very quickly they took it on board and they started
S3: learning the game and what it is, and we started
S3: playing a two versus two game, you know, 2V2 and
S3: there was 3 or 4 different classes. And I have
S3: to thank Mike Moreira there, who works really, really hard
S3: with the sports students there. And he was actually he
S3: was asking me a couple years ago and just through
S3: Covid we couldn't get out there, but the kids loved it.
S3: And you know, they want more and I came back
S3: and I really feel this plant the seed in different
S3: schools around Australia and, you know, Melbourne. I'd love to
S3: go out touring and getting out to the schools and
S3: raising that awareness of what blind football is and, and
S3: how someone who loves football can get involved as a
S3: volunteer and how they can pass that knowledge onto someone else.
S3: You know, who they might know, who's vision impaired and
S3: even participate in the blind football game. You don't have
S3: to be vision impaired or have no sight at all.
S3: You can actually help our development for the future and
S3: help us play games. As an athlete wanting to play
S3: a blind football game, and this is something that they
S3: do in Japan, you know, they have two players participate
S3: in the game to help there be more games played.
S3: And that's all about the game experience and stuff like that.
S3: So that's my ultimate goal is to get out to
S3: the schools like Trinity and even some other schools, and
S3: see if we can create a team or a training
S3: session on a regular basis, where we can actually eventually
S3: help develop our seniors, play more games because we need
S3: it's so hard getting into state. Players come to Melbourne
S3: all the time for the camp. So yeah, and even
S3: myself as an ex athlete, I feel that my passion
S3: not only is for refereeing, but you have to be
S3: an all rounder coach, the referee, learning the guide roles
S3: and being a guide, a volunteer. So having that perspective
S3: really gives me the passion to want to play a
S3: blind football game myself with other players who want to
S3: become a blind football player. So I really feel like
S3: if I can expand that word out there, that we
S3: can play blind football together and enjoy the game to
S3: help the future of the game, I really feel that's
S3: important now.
S2: So what sort of things are in the pipeline in
S2: that line of thinking over the next few sort of
S2: weeks and months? Are there camps in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth
S2: or even Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart? What sort of blind football
S2: things are in the pipeline for people to head along
S2: to in the next little while to get involved? It's a.
S3: Great question. There is one. From what I've done, a
S3: bit of study, there's one coming up in, I believe, Hobart,
S3: which is all abilities or vision impaired day. I think
S3: it could be coming up on the 27th or 28th.
S3: So that's something to look out for in Hobart, where
S3: they're promoting blind sports and stuff like that. That's coming up.
S3: And we have an all abilities program at South Melbourne
S3: where we normally train every two weeks, and therefore the
S3: local Melbourne based players, and that gives them an opportunity
S3: to help with their skills and stuff like that and
S3: play and train because it's off season at the moment,
S3: we're still putting some plans into place to see what's
S3: going to be the plan for the new year, but
S3: I always try to help mentor these players who I've
S3: trained in individual coaching, and help them realise that you've
S3: got to keep yourself in tune with training all the time.
S3: You know, the more you're touching the ball, the more
S3: you're running, the more you're shooting, the more you're practicing.
S3: So you've got that edge and you're already in front.
S3: So make sure that you're not losing too much touch
S3: in the game. But great question Sam, with interstate and
S3: stuff like that. They will have their national coaches, local coaches,
S3: where they might do their own local training sessions for
S3: their own blind players. And we've got a lot of
S3: women now participating in the blind football as well. And
S3: I think it was just Friday passed this Friday that
S3: they had a national camp, which is great news.
S2: And yeah, it's fantastic. Yeah.
S3: Bess, who's the head coach there? She runs a camp.
S3: I wasn't able to get out there, but they had
S3: a national camp there in Adelaide, which I was just
S3: in touch with. John. He's a Japanese coach who's got
S3: more than ten years experience in Japan with youth and
S3: also seniors. And I recommended him come down to Australia
S3: and help support our staff. And he came down to
S3: Australia and now he's he's recently been appointed the first
S3: Japanese head coach for Australian national team, which is excellent news.
S2: Yeah that's fantastic.
S3: Yeah. So he's now traveling around and helping out as
S3: much as he can with the players and stuff like
S3: that and keeping his his awareness of who's there and
S3: what's going on. So it's a great asset for Australia
S3: to have such an experienced coach to come and live
S3: in Australia and help our national team.
S2: Yeah, that's fantastic and it's really good to say. And
S2: that's not only just in blind football, but I understand
S2: people from Japan and Iran, you know, absolute heavyweights of
S2: the Asian Football Confederation getting involved with Australian football. You've
S2: got referees in the A-League like Alireza Afghani from Iran,
S2: a fantastic referee. So it's really great to see that's
S2: really permeating through other areas of the Australian football landscape now,
S2: said what's in store for the national team over the
S2: next little while? What sort of games will they be playing,
S2: or are they sort of ramping up for any new
S2: tournaments or qualifiers or anything of that nature?
S3: Great question. We've had the World Cup that we weren't
S3: able to get out to in England. All right. But
S3: now that the national series here has been completed, we
S3: leaving all the planning up to the coach and we've
S3: got David Connolly who's doing a great job again with
S3: the coordinating and stuff like that with the players and seeing,
S3: you know, what's going to happen for next year and
S3: what the goals are. So nothing exactly yet put in place,
S3: but I'm sure their plans moving forward to making more
S3: games and going to maybe international tournaments and maybe even
S3: Japan one day with the connections with June. Okay. And June's. Yeah,
S3: June's got good connections and I've got great connections there
S3: in Japan. And I was actually invited to go this
S3: time around to the Brave Cup tournament championship in Japan.
S3: But it's not looking to it's very short notice, so
S3: I'm not sure. Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure if I'm
S3: going to head out there, but leading next year, I
S3: think there's going to be a lot of opportunities for
S3: national players to compete for their spots and maybe possibly
S3: go abroad, and maybe even a country could even come
S3: to Australia one day.
S2: Oh, that'd be fantastic.
S3: Yeah. To help us. Yeah, yeah.
S2: Well, definitely watch this space for sure, Seb. And you know,
S2: you're always welcome back on talking vision. If things crop
S2: up that you'd love to talk about, we're very keen
S2: to hear about all the latest developments in the world
S2: of blind football in Australia. So definitely keep in touch.
S2: So listeners out there watch this space. You'll definitely be
S2: hearing Seb's voice down the track for sure. Now, just
S2: before we wrap up, Seb, where can people head to
S2: find out a bit more about blind football in Australia
S2: and perhaps get involved and just learn a bit more
S2: about the game?
S3: I think the best thing is, is, you know, get
S3: to know the players, ask them in person. We've got
S3: now Vision Australia now this is a huge help for
S3: the audience to know what's going on. You can reach
S3: Blind Sports Australia which is the BSA. I think it's
S3: called the Blind Sports Australia, which is important. They've got
S3: all the equipments and stuff like that. We've got Football Victoria,
S3: who's helped us with helping us run and the all
S3: abilities sector now the blind football. So they've got also
S3: some sort of promotional stuff on their web pages. Football
S3: Victoria and we've got Blind Sports Victoria who always doing
S3: their stuff running programs. So I'm sure that they've got
S3: they're a good one too. So everyone's working together to
S3: help promote. But yeah, if this can spread that word
S3: out there and get someone interested in getting me out
S3: to their school and trying to help promote the blind football,
S3: I'm happy to do it. I've got a lot of
S3: experience in the field and we, you know, I'm happy
S3: to go out to any school in Australia to start
S3: the Australian Blind Football Project, which I'm very passionate about,
S3: to raise the awareness in what is blind football.
S2: Now, just to wrap up, said, give us a couple
S2: of websites and emails there for people to head along to.
S3: You could contact myself where I could maybe possibly send
S3: you all the exact emails and details. Yeah. Sebastian at
S3: Better Sports Abilities to contact myself to send you the
S3: details of anything that's in particular with what you are
S3: asking and things like that. Facebook pages. We've got Blind
S3: Sports Australia, I think it is Blind Sports Victoria. Our
S3: Football Victoria probably is a good one. Yes.
S2: Head, shoulder.
S3: Yeah, football Victoria would have a lot of information on
S3: the websites and stuff like that.
S2: So that email again for people out there, that's Sebastian
S2: at Better Sports abilities.com to find out more about blind
S2: football and for Sebastian to point you in the right direction.
S2: I've been speaking today with Sebastian Petrovich, blind football referee,
S2: educator and coach for the Australian national blind football team,
S2: talking to us about not only the national series which
S2: recently took place, but all things blind football in Australia
S2: now and in the future. Sebastian, thank you so much
S2: for your time today. It was a pleasure to have
S2: you back on the show. Oh, it's a.
S3: Pleasure to be here once again, and hopefully there's more
S3: times in the future for all the children out there
S3: and adults and parents, you know, do your best to
S3: learn more. And the more people have come support our
S3: games is a great thing and a great achievement for
S3: our sport. So thank you Sam for having me in
S3: the studio again and it's going to be an excellent
S3: future ahead.
S2: I'm Sam Colley and you're listening to Talking Vision on
S2: Vision Australia Radio, associated stations of RPI and the Community
S2: Radio Network. I hope you enjoyed that interview there with
S2: Sebastian Petrovich. If you missed any part of that interview
S2: with Sebastian or you'd love to hear the interview again,
S2: the interview will be available on the Vision Australia Radio
S2: website as an interview highlight. Or you can find this
S2: episode and all past episodes of Talking Vision through your
S2: favourite podcast platform, or through the Vision Australia library. Our
S2: next bunch of guests are all heading off to the
S2: trek for Vision in New Zealand, taking place in March
S2: to raise vital funds for Vision Australia's Quality Living groups
S2: and Vision Australia Radio. Their names are large, Emma, Amy
S2: and Erin and they join me now from the Vision
S2: Australia office in Brisbane. Welcome everyone to Talking Vision. Great
S2: to have you all.
S4: Thank you. Thanks for having us. Thanks so.
S2: Much. Now let's go around the room and just introduce
S2: yourselves before we jump in.
S4: I'm Jemma, a speech pathologist on the children's team in Brisbane. Hello,
S4: I'm Amy, I'm a occupational therapist, also on the children's
S4: team in Brisbane. And Lara, I'm also an occupational therapist
S4: in the children's team in Brisbane as well. And my
S4: name is Erin. And I'm also in the children's team
S4: in Brisbane.
S2: Oh, cool. And how did you find out about the track?
S4: Yeah, absolutely. So funny story. It kind of started. I
S4: was in the office and Gemma came over and was like, oh,
S4: did you see the post about the track for vision
S4: on The Hub? And so the more we looked into
S4: it and chatted with our colleagues, Laura and Erin as well,
S4: we looked a little bit more into it and decided
S4: that we would take it on and join the track. Yeah,
S4: and then this is Erin. Actually, Amy, Laura and Gemma
S4: had already signed up and they were talking about it
S4: in the lunchroom and they were, oh my God, you
S4: need to come along. And I signed up very impulsively.
S4: I had no idea when it was no idea where
S4: we were going. I just went through my emails and
S4: was like, I'm going on this trip. Yes.
S2: And what sort of info have you found out about
S2: the track for vision? In the time between all finding
S2: out about it and up to now, what sort of
S2: things can you tell us about the track?
S4: Yeah, so since my impulsive signing up, I have learnt
S4: a little bit about it. We're trekking through New Zealand
S4: in early March next year, and I don't think I
S4: would have signed up if I'd known, but we're actually
S4: hiking with our CEO.
S2: Yes. That's Ron. Yeah.
S4: And yes, with Ron. And it'll be, I think, a
S4: wonderful five day walk through parts of New Zealand. Yeah,
S4: the kilometres or lap. We've also learnt that on the
S4: fundraising side of it. So you know, along with the
S4: 60 kilometre trek were also raising money to support the
S4: Vision Australia, Quality Living Groups and Vision Australia radio. So
S4: we've got a goal. The four of us combined of $14,000.
S4: So a big goal that we're working towards for our
S4: trek as well.
S2: All right. And it's quite exciting to, you know, have
S2: some local knowledge from Ron on that hike through New Zealand.
S2: And there's some quite exciting things that I'm sure he'll
S2: be able to little bits of info he'll be able
S2: to share. So that's that's pretty exciting to be heading
S2: along with, with a local, so to speak.
S4: Yeah, absolutely. I think he was right. Oh, grew up
S4: in Wellington and that's our last day of the trip.
S4: We'll walk throughout Wellington guided by Ron, which is yeah,
S4: really nice. I think that'll be special.
S2: Have you all been training together every week, or have
S2: you been all sort of doing your own thing and
S2: on your own sort of little individualised training regimen, so
S2: to speak?
S4: Sam, to be honest, we we haven't really done much
S4: training at all yet. Oh, okay. We had our first
S4: team walk up mount just on the weekend, and I
S4: think it went as well as a first training session.
S4: And obviously we probably spent more time getting breakfast at
S4: the cafe at the top and we spent walking, but
S4: we've still got something like 22 weeks until we get there.
S4: So we'll definitely get a lot more practice in before then.
S4: We'll step up our training from from here on there.
S2: Okay. For sure. Have you all sort of done much
S2: walking in the past, or is this the first time
S2: where you've gone on this sort of hike of this magnitude?
S4: Yeah. So I have actually done one trek in New
S4: Zealand before, but that was quite a few years ago,
S4: and it's the only one I've done. And since then
S4: I can't say I've done so much walking. I think
S4: it's similar between us. We might play some sport or
S4: go for a walk with our dogs on the weekend. Ends,
S4: but a 60 kilometer hike is definitely a step up
S4: from that. So yeah, yeah, it'll be exciting to see
S4: how we go. Definitely challenging, but it'll be fun. Yeah.
S2: And you know, what are you all looking most forward to?
S4: This is Laura. I think I'm really looking forward to
S4: really raising more money and meeting our fundraising goal. That's
S4: really been the focus for us at the moment, because
S4: it's a it's a large sum of money that we're
S4: trying to raise. We've held a few fundraising parties and
S4: we've got plans in the, in the works for like
S4: a trivia night and sausage sizzles and, you know, talking
S4: at community events and things like that. So I think
S4: it will just be so rewarding to see the outcome
S4: of those fundraising efforts. That's what I'm really looking forward to. Yeah,
S4: it's Amy here. I think the same as Lara. I'm
S4: looking forward to sort of reaching the goal of our
S4: fundraising target. And I also think I'm looking forward to
S4: also reaching the goal of at the end of doing
S4: 60 K's. I think looking forward to the satisfaction that
S4: that will bring as well. We're hoping we can celebrate
S4: with a local wine at one of the. Yeah, that.
S2: Sounds like a great plan.
S4: But I think we've also been reflecting on our roles
S4: and the work that we do in the children's team,
S4: because while we're not fundraising directly for our team or
S4: the services we provide, we still get to see every
S4: day the impact that it has. So we're really motivated,
S4: and it's been really cool for us to meet different
S4: people and different businesses in the community. It's been a
S4: challenge for us in terms of connecting with previously strangers,
S4: so that's been really exciting for us.
S2: And just finally tell us a bit about the purpose
S2: behind the trek and the difference that the funds raise
S2: will make to the quality living groups and the Vision
S2: Australia radio services. Did you know much about the quality
S2: of living groups and Vision Australia Radio before you got
S2: involved with the trek? Have you found out a bit
S2: more about them since you've gotten involved and looked into
S2: it a bit more?
S4: Yeah, this is Erin. I actually started with Vision Australia
S4: six months ago, so I've been hearing about, yeah, all
S4: the different services that we offer and that we have. So,
S4: you know, I've heard about the radio, I've kind of
S4: heard about the quality of living groups, but I never
S4: really put all the pieces together on what they were.
S4: But yeah, I think it's the quality of living groups
S4: in particular, such an important program and service that we're
S4: able to provide. And the funds that we're raising go
S4: towards such an important thing. And I think it's nice
S4: that there's no kind of pediatric quality living group at
S4: the moment, I don't think. But it's nice to know
