📌 Pàdelnou

Description: Our PE teacher, Xavi, suggested us to go to play padel in L'Hospitalet to improve our technique. One day, we went with the arts students there and we played in teams. I played with my friend Laura and my other friends Pol and Mayssa. I know I wasn't the best playing, but I wanted to imporve my technique. 

Planning/previous thoughts: I had never played padel (just seen it), but I knew I wanted to learn and improve. I was especially looking forward to spending time outside the school environment and get to know the clssmates of the arts programme. More than just a sports session, I saw it as a chance to bond with others and push myself in a friendly atmosphere.

Activity's valoration: The session was well-organized and dynamic. We played in pairs, and I teamed up with my friend Laura. We played against other students and we had fun. Even though I wasn’t the best player, I stayed focused on improving my movement and strategy. Xavi and the other monitors gave us practical advice during the games, and little by little, I felt more confident in my performance. The relaxed atmosphere helped me enjoy even more the activity.

Final reflection: This padel experience reminded me that growth comes with effort and that I need to be perseverant. I may not have played perfectly, but I put in the work and was eager to improve. The activity helped me strengthen my spirit, and I enjoyed spending time with classmates in a different context. I left the session feeling more motivated to keep trying and more connected to my peers. It was a great mix of learning, activity and fun.
