As my time in the UAE comes to an end it’s a chance to reflect on the great times I’ve had but also an opportunity to thank those who have helped me along the way!
It’s a pleasure & privilege to teach some inspiring children but also work alongside brilliant teachers!

Update!
It’s been a month since my last post & for good reason too!
The past month I’ve been hit for six by a virus which attacked my inner ear. Causing me to suffer from severe vertigo and left me in bed recovering for most of it.
Since then I’ve been taking things real easy. Advice I give to all those I coach that when the body is undergoing stress you must give it time to recover otherwise you’ll burn out.
Luckily I’m getting back to myself & getting my balance back. With the temperature in dubai cooling down I managed to get out to a favourite sunset spot last week.
Normal service will resume moving forward 💪🏼
Look after yourselves 🙏🏽

This week is the inevitable week 3 in education.
It’s this week where fatigue & sickness creeps in after the initial buzz of return to school begins to falter.
These weeks happen in life, in our childhood and in our lives as adults now.
In these weeks it’s important to show yourself some TLC!
For me I have been continuing to exercise but taking more rest to accommodate the build up in fatigue. While continuing to eat well & take a multi vitamin.
Additionally in the time out of work I’ve been doing things to relax that I enjoy such as catching up with friends & getting outside when the Dubai heat allows it.
Lastly I have highlights pop up on my phone Home Screen daily to bring back memories of trips I’ve done in the past this tends to put a smile on my face.
Here is a shot of the Bernabau where I got to see Real Madrid play at home 7 years ago!

Thursday journal -
Since moving to dubai I have taken up padel & while I have a history of playing tennis it’s always good to try a new sport.
Tonight was the first night of .collective league. It was really good to experience some healthy competition playing a sport I enjoy.
While competitive situations can sometimes kill the fun aspect of sport I like the challenge it represents to think on your feet and perform under pressure.
This stimuli is one we often loose as we age through the form of sport and gain in our profession, but go looking for it in your own pursuits as a hobby provides balance to your life.
