What I Coach: Multi Skills

Where: St.John Fishers
I have been coaching 22 KS1 children at ST.John Fishers Primary School, I love coaching a range of different games and activities with all the children as they all put 100% effort it making it so enjoyable. Seeing all the children laughing and making lots of noise makes the atmosphere of the session improve dramatically making the environment FUN. Coaching the children basic multi skills such as, balance, catching, throwing and skipping has made the sessions challenging to some children to most self fulfilling when there are improvements. I am so proud of my sessions as all the children fully participate and always try their hardest making my job so much fun, I love seeing children playing together and working as teams but also encouraging and supporting each other. My favourite quote from a pupil was “I wish multi skills never had to end, I’ve met new friends and always have lots of fun and I can even skip now”. Although coaching may seem a small job the impacts to children are huge making every minute worth while and a fantastic experience for both coach and participants.
