W A L K I N G soccer … Yes, there’s such a thing 😆👟⚽️
I’d forgotten how wonderful playing team sport is.
Almost a decade ago I retired from my beloved Touch Footy & other team sports due to multiple injuries.
It’s really hard to help others move & train their bodies when you’re hobbling around on crutches 🫣
Sometimes kaPT sessions came to a grinding holt due to my injuries, because I didn’t have another trainer to look after my wonderful crew.
Ah, the joys of being a sole trader 😅
So I took up Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, individual sprint training & joined the circus (true!) so I could learn the German Wheel.
All amazing, enjoyable activities!
Perfect for this competitive, active soul, who didn’t feel she could trust herself (to stay in one-piece) when playing with/against others.
Then I met the amazing crew at Ballina Walking Football.
I can play with friends again.
Socialise & meet new people.
Compete & sweat.
Whilst successfully running kaPT.
And feel like I’m back in my happy place.
Back on a sporting field with others, doing what I love.
Moving & challenging myself 💛
Be brave … Try something new.
It’s worth it!
