I came to the realization that I am good at explaining things to kids in a way that they can grasp. I also observed that I need to practice my flexibility and patience because some kids took longer to grasp the fundamentals of soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Outcome 2 : For me, teaching soccer to poor kids was a novel and difficult experience. It was the first time I had ever instructed a group of young athletes who had never played the sport before. I had to use my imagination to come up with enjoyable and motivating activities to keep the kids interested in and excited about learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Outcome 5 : Working together with the other volunteers and coaches was crucial to the program&#8217;s success. Together, we had to arrange the lessons, set up the tools, and supervise the kids during the sessions. I gained knowledge on the value of efficient communication as well as task delegation techniques for maximising the use of our constrained time and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Outcome 7 : I had to think about the ethical ramifications of our activities during the community service, such as how our programme will affect the children&#8217;s and their families&#8217; well-being. Regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, I had to make sure that we offered a secure and encouraging learning environment and treated every child with respect. I also have to be conscious of our position as outsiders and the possibility of unintended harm or exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, my time spent teaching poor kids how to play soccer as part of my community service helped me to gain new knowledge and perspectives. Knowing that I was having a good influence on the kids&#8217; lives provided me a sense of fulfilment and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"854\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-20.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-20.png 854w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-20-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image-20-768x509.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning Outcome 1: I learned more about my strengths and potential for improvement while performing community service and teaching poor kids how to play soccer.
