Hola, my name is Jacob, I am 16 years of age. I am a level three sports student at Kirklees college.
During my time in Valencia I gained a mass amount knowledge about coaching football from the coaches I have been coached by and also coached alongside. I have learned loads of new drills and styles of coaching.
During my free time I have enjoyed the activities we have done such as a stadium tour of the Mestalla, watching the Valencia academy games and Spanish lessons.
I have learnt how to coach and improvise with a language barrier by using sign language, demonstrations and basic Spanish. Doing this has helped me improve my coaching skills as well as my self-confidence when coaching, especially in large groups.
