Nicki Leaper Coaching

Super proud of this little GK.
Joining as part of their U12 team.

It's going to be a good (busy!) season.

So excited to be up at for the Expected Goals LIVE evening.

It takes a lot to get me up into town - but this was a no brainer.

Here's to working out how I can help to actively support the growth of the women's game.

What an end to the season for these U10 Hawks .

It's been a joy to co-manage this team for Season 2 with the brilliant - and I can't wait for season 3. These girls have worked hard & just kept climbing... and smiling. And the parents are pretty awesome too!

So it comes to a close - and with a busy one today - last match and then an awesome Club Day at the Rec.

Feet up for a short while... then onwards. Summer tournaments and planning for September.

❤️⚽️❤️

Done. 10k. Blue sky. Sea at my side.

Goal set at start of year.

35th run of the year.

Then treats.

Ice cream (best ice cream, great coffee, beautiful shop!)

Books

Think it's time for shower & sofa now 🙌

Made it to the seaside for some downtime and the hubby had picked up a copy of the latest - result 🙌

Did a quick once through (as always) and then got stopped in my tracks by this beautiful poem by Chris Matthewman (& the gorgeous illustration by Rose Dai).

Life IS short. Bridge the gaps.

I'm inspired. 🙌

Looking forward to a day@of inspiration. ⚽️

The BEST afternoon. Less than a 5 min walk@from my front door, this hidden gem .mind.body.spirit challenged me to get well outside my (physical) comfort zone and "stress up to stress down".

3 brilliant women, one brilliant host... I learnt a lot, laughed even more - and can't wait to head back.

What an awesome oasis.

That's it. The magic sauce. Do this. And change your life.

Needed to shift the mindset this morning. So shifted my body - to a different location. Just because. And it did the trick. Went to my local library, found a quiet(ish) corner... and got the offer of a cup of tea to boot!

Sometimes a change in environment can really help kick start a change in perspective.

What a gift! 🥰

There’s nothing I don’t love about this year’s extension to my coaching practice. 😉⚽️

With kudos to co-coach - the team have had a cracking start to the season and can’t wait to go again come Jan.

C’mon you Hawks!

And huge thanks to Lilly and for all their hard work at training… it’s having a huge impact!
