Sinbin

Another year has begun and another Six Nations Championship is approaching, but for me there’s very little to rejoice.

On the contrary I had to make a very difficult decision and…. sin bin myself.

This actually translates into taking a step back from coaching at least for a while, due to some health problems. It has been a hard decision but it is even harder to explain people why I can’t coach at the moment. I understand that they find it hard to realise that even a “simple” headache could be a real problem… but my headaches are never “simple”.

So, since sometimes I find hard to stand and that I quite often wish I was able to put my head in the fridge for stopping the pain (no medication has proved good for such headaches), I really can’t figure myself shouting for 75 mins at undisciplined children…. and survive!

Bummer! We were working quite well I think, but I completely trust in my co-coach and no hope is lost: perhaps in a month or so I should be able to go back to my usual self and on the pitch again…

So, fingers crossed.
