Hello, how are you??
I just want to talk about what I did at a primary school today. I today went to a school for coaching of soccer to kids. I already knew that it would be so hard to make it well as I had known that the huge numbers of kids would turn up my soccer lesson that was more than I expected. The problem was that all kids joined today didn't bring their own balls as I told them that if kids have their own balls at home, just bring it that means if kids who doesn't have a ball can't bring it.I should've told them that all kids has to be with their own balls because I already knew I didn't have enough ball for kids.
That's why I couldn't provide one ball to each kid. The number of balls I got today was obviously short to kids that it might have been only a half numbers against kids. So I was really upset in the first 15mins, to be honest I didn't know what to do, so what I did to them was just let them kick some balls around in the square pitch set up by corns.
Luckily, most of kids were really docile. If I had some naughty and disruptive kids to the others, I must've been dead for sure. But I somehow tried to manage them to have an enjoyable time through kicking a ball. I think they were happy with us thanks to all supports I got from some teachers who work at the school, and next session will be a lot better for sure, though, I met with a bit setback today. I am really willing to dedicate myself 100% to this job.
And some day, I hope some of this kids will have a same dream as mine that become a professional soccer player and hopefully we meet each other in J-league that I'm as a coach and they are as of course a player.
Anyway, I would just like them to have something can be crazy about. It's not like a one-off event. It ends till the end of the life. I can say living in dream is not easy, but the tough life makes you great.
My dream is still keep going, so I'd like to help them to discover the same thing as I've had already.
つか、最近ふと思う、英語と日本語で書き続けてきたこのブログ、一体何人の人が英語の方も読んでくれてんのかなぁ？って。実際ちょっと日本文と違うんやけど、まぁ興味ある人はどうぞ。文法間違いは忠告ください。笑
ともあれ、今日ついに行ってきました。こっちの地元小学校にサッカーコーチとして訪問を。いやぁ、予想の３倍ほどの人数で訳３５人！！しかも年齢は１年～６年まで多岐に渡って一人じゃ手に負えないからここの学校で働いている先生方に助けてもらってなんとか無事終了してきました。
しかし、課題は一杯でした。おれ自身は１，２，３年生を中心に２０人ほどをみてたんやけどまぁそんないっぺんにまとまる訳もなく、しかも一人一つボールがないモンやからなかなかやりたいことができず最初の１５分くらいは頭真っ白で何やったかあんま覚えてない。笑 結局２つグループに分けて、片方はこっちの先生にやってほしいことを伝えてお任せして進行。
最後はゲームで締めましたが、まぁ大変でした。持っていった大量のコーンやマーカーも結局足らず、ほんまに予想外のことばっかりの連続。でも、中盤から子ども達のペースも掴めて徐々に修正できて、その辺は普段個人的にやっているサッカースクールの経験が生きてきましたね。
しかしこっちの学校はたくさんの人種の子ども達がいる。アジア、アフリカ、ヨーロッパ系、中には女の子もいて、ボールが体に当たってすぐ泣き出してしまったり・・。けどボールを持たせれば結局はどこで生まれたなんて関係ない。ゴールに向かってボールを蹴る、走る。点が入れば喜び、負ければ悔しがる。ほんとにシンプルなこと。
最後にはみんな「楽しかった」と言ってくれたのが一番嬉しかったですね。あとは担当の先生ともっと話し合って毎週毎週改善しながら良いセッションにもっともっとしていきたいです。
