beginning to feel like a part of something.



not sure if i'll be wanted back again. :p
theres been up and downs, and i guess ive more or less accepted what this job is all about.
im not ready to take on NIE in terms of lesson planning and real classroom situations.
i belong out there.. (field vs classroom)

watching your students run during cross country and coming in the first few positions can be really overwhelming. haha.
im such a noob at this teacher shit.
but im awesomely proud of them, even my girls.

trainings are kicking in full swing, im coaching on mon tues wed fri.
with absolutely no time to watch the vj climbers.
just putting my heart and soul into netball right now.
the team is not formed, and we just have no luck in player retention.
my seniors are under performing, and the competition is in may. i.e. NO TIME! :p
despite all that, i find myself praying hard all the time and imagining the day we win our first match.
i pray that the girls will play a good game and one that everyone tries their best.

being a coach is not easy, especially when you were a competitor once.
its way way easier to play the game because it comes so naturally versus breaking down and teaching every single step.
the slow transition of planning trainings and forming a team really requires alot of placing yourself in anothers shoes.
to know whether the techniques i teach are correct, sometimes i myself have to try it out in front of them to know.
to know whether the intensity is too high, sometimes i have to run with them to feel what theyfeel.
if not theres never a sure way to do a certain drill or exercise without knowing the fitness and physical capabilities of the girls.
not easy, not easy at all.
