Former LaLiga soccer player Pelayo Novo and Sheila Ortega, a student from Jerez studying Intermediate Degree in Pharmacy and Parapharmacy, do not know each other and, however, listening to them, anyone -assuming they agree to say the same answer and say the same tips. No cheating, no previous dress rehearsal, but they share a difficult life experience, one of those that changes your character, changes your future and you see life from a different prism.
Sheila is pure positive energy, optimism and the desire to give so much back to the world. She is a 19-year-old woman who can be said to have overcome lymphoblastic leukemia that she was diagnosed with when she was just 9-years-old. For the Asturian player – who played for teams such as Real Oviedo, Albacete BP , Elche CF and Córdoba CF- The change in life came after falling from the third floor of a hotel. Operations, rehabilitation and retirement from football and, although he managed to turn his professional and personal motivations into chair tennis, to get to this point it was necessary to “train the mind, our motor”.

“We don’t know what to do with our discomfort, but even less with the discomfort of others,” said Ana Belén. Because we often face difficulties from avoidance, denial or fear, to manage ourselves or others. We spoke to this expert in the second episode of this podcast in collaboration with LaLiga on how to better manage our discomfort and learn to accompany those who are struggling.
