Hola Becca and Lauren here
It's the last day of coaching for the week and everyone is tired and looking forward to some rest and relaxation this weekend.
Today has consisted of coaching a number of different ages ranging from 5-17 years old. As a group we have found that the primary aged children are a lot more draining as they require more care and attention, as well as a lot of energy! we spend the siesta time planning more sessions and working hard to improve our skills, so we don't get a chance to have a nap. Whereas they recharge their batteries and come back to us in the afternoon full of beans!
This made us all feel very tired so we were glad to get back to the Hostel and have a little siesta of our own before we needed to start planning for next week, as well as getting showered and changed ready for Dinner. We have all learnt that it is quite hard to spent long periods of the day working and looking after others. We thought it would be easier but we are being kept on our toes, which we all appreciate as it will help our coaching abilities and experience.
After our dinner of pasta we now have some free time to relax, so some of us went to the supermarket, whilst the rest of us wandered back to our hostel and relaxed in our rooms, catching up with Group A and seeing how they are getting on in their school.
We have learnt that this routine is quite tiring, and exactly how important it is to get lots of rest and time for ourselves so that our batteries are recharged too!
We are all looking forward to tomorrow, not the early wake up call but the Valencia game.
Adios
