Internship Information
For my internship this year i was a soccer coach for an U-10 girls team for three seasons. I ran the practices and put people in positions during the games. I have helped teach many children the wonderful game of soccer.
I have played soccer for 12 years, so being able to give back to the community is a really nice feeling. I love to watch the kids eyes glow with the knowledge of the game and to be able to see the excitement in each child's face when a game or practice is about to start.
I have learned how hard it is to be a coach. I want to get out on the field and play for them sometimes or somehow manage to insert the knowledge directly into their brains. Another challenge is catering to each individual child's learning style. It is hard enough to try to teach them what the field looks like but then adding in technique is very difficult. But when you have succeeded there is no feeling like it.
I would not change my experiences for anything. I love those kids and I love the fact that there are people out there who are as passionate about soccer as i am.
So in short that is my Internship.
