Soccer schools with a difference |
|
We’re so lucky to live in a country that loves its sport. It’s so ingrained in our culture, that when an Aussie team or athlete succeeds on the world stage, a great shiver of national pride runs through the country. We salute our sporting heroes like no other. A good example of this patriotic elation was when my team mate John Aloisi clinched the match winning penalty against The way we were treated by the Australian public, whose national game is another code altogether, made me proud to be an Australian and it further strengthened my already rock-solid belief that soccer was a powerful and unifying game. As an ambassador for Viva Soccer, I want to bring that passion for soccer to as many children as possible. At our soccer schools we can take kids with talent and nurture and refine them with our stable of top quality coaching staff. So many talented juniors get lost in the system because they lose interest or they aren’t receiving the right training from the right people. Too often they are stuck in a culture where winning is everything, at the expense of developing individual skills. As a former Socceroo I can attest to the fact that it’s not necessarily the most gifted players who make it to the top - it’s those who have the will to keep improving and learning. At Viva Soccer, we’re committed to continual development. But we don’t just want kids who can already kick a soccer ball and have lofty ambitions, we also want juniors who have never played the game, and just want to have a bit of fun - because the most important thing is getting out there and having a go.
