Honestly, you couldn’t make it up. I had the session ready to go, with vaults, leaps, and squat pattern work. Only, when I got there, I found two men smoking fags and drinking rosé from a bottle. No judgement on their part, although the wine was not chilled, and they didn’t have any snacks.
If you know the area, it’s out of the ordinary, and so there it is. Put that in your coaching manual. Ready, Fire, Aim.
I had to work hard to battle my frustration and think on my feet, and yet the evening was another reminder of why physical activity as a social gathering is so powerful. Hops, skips and a game of relay noughts and crosses, on a sunny night in Llandaff Fields, was a treat. Dai iawn to all who attended.
