Today was a goood day! Spent the day doing a coaching course in athletics (sprints, long jump, shot put, middle-distance running, discus and high jump). I didn't know much about athletics before today (hell, I hadn't even heard of some of the sports), but I had an awesome time trying them all out, getting technique tips and practising my coaching. So many cool things I've been lucky enough to try since I came to Oz. Like one of the coaches said today: "So you just decided to come to Oz and try all these different things? That's awesome."
And it is. It's fucking awesome. Not only am I gaining a lot of new perspectives and knowledge, I also have to step the heeelll out of my comfort zone every time I try something new/something I'm scared of doing (rock climbing, hiking, slacklining, camping, discus, shot put, salsa...to name a few). I've always hated doing things I couldn’t do perfectly, so trying these things and allowing myself to look like a fool (and being okay with it) shows me that I've grown as a person. And that is truly awesome.
