I’m Harvey Ribbons, I went on a project in Valencia
During this two-week project, we participate in and lead football coaching sessions with a leading Academy in Valencia Spanish Pro Football and a local team called San Jose FC.
During the project we didn’t other activities such as cooking paella, spending the morning at a College and watching the mascleta fireworks. We also explored the city visiting the old town and spending time absorbing the culture.
Alongside a little bit of Spanish, I learnt professional how the coaching styles in Spain vary to that in England. There is more of a focus on technique and positional relationships in Spain compared to England
I discovered that I am a very good active listener and have a calming influence to support others during difficult times.
