My first steps in TRAIL RUNNING
A few months ago, we moved to a village located in the mountains. Fleeing a bit from the rush and the crazy life we lived
You may ask ‘And who is this girl? Well, I’m a normal girl, unique like each of you, who is passionate about sports.
My name is Natalia, I was born a few years ago in Buenos Aires, but I’ve been living in Valencia for many years now, although I’ve also lived in Galicia and Cambridge. I can’t stay still! I am always looking for new projects in which to invest my time and, above all, my illusion. I am an optimistic woman first and foremost, a mother of two girls and a sportswoman. But when I say sportswoman, I don’t mean professional sportswoman, but rather sportswoman in terms of lifestyle, way of feeling and values.
Since I was very young I started to try sports, among them swimming, skating, gymnastics, athletics, field field hockey, volleyball, tennis and paddle; and from all of them I learned something, those values that can only be transmitted with it: teamwork, effort, perseverance, patience, solidarity and tenacity.
For many years, PADEL was MY sport. I have played in Argentina, Spain and later in the Valencian Community at a more or less high level, without ever considering myself a professional, but enjoying this sport very much as an amateur. It has given me so many people, moments and joys… and now I work… for which I will be eternally grateful (to paddle and my parents who have made it possible).
The conciliation, being a mother of two girls and a sportswoman, even at amateur level, is not easy, despite having all the support in the world at home. For some time now, playing tournaments or paddle tennis games has been very difficult. Those of you who play paddle already know how hard it is to get 4 players together, not to mention if you don’t want to play at 7 pm, because you prefer to be at home at dinner time. For that reason and for more reasons I am making changes in my routine and falling in love little by little with another sport: TRAIL RUNNING.
I have always studied, I like to learn new things!
I have a degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences from the University of Valencia. I also have an official Master in Nutrition and Health by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, I have the course of paddle instructor by the Spanish Federation of Paddle and LEVEL 1 by the Valencian Federation of Paddle, and judge referee of paddle autonomic.
I have worked since before starting the University as a waitress, as a sales clerk, in the family textile company, in a Sports Nutrition center; I have also been a Physical Education teacher and, for almost 10 years, paddle tennis coach. I am currently coordinating a Popular Circuit in the Valencian Community and I am a technician in the Federation… Over the years I have been many things, but from each one I have learned, as well as with sports, to be a little better. And, above all, to enjoy what I do and ALWAYS SMILE TO LIFE!

And precisely… not the witch one. That one I guess will go faster than me. To those of you unfamiliar with the language of racing,
