💚 Barnability Juniors – What a start! 💚
Friday night saw the launch of our brand-new Barnability Juniors class, aimed at helping young people build strength, coordination, confidence and friendships along the way.
I just want to give a huge shout-out to our trainee coaches who stayed on to help support these young athletes. 👏
Their role was to help ease any nerves, demonstrate exercises, offer encouragement and create a positive, welcoming sporting environment where everyone felt comfortable having a go.
And they did this tenfold! 🫶
When I started the Trainee Coaching Scheme, I knew it had the potential to work. But, like any new venture, there are always worries and questions about whether your ideas will come together.
Friday night reminded me exactly why I started it in the first place.
The scheme isn’t just about teaching young people with additional needs how to coach. It’s about building confidence, developing life skills, creating opportunities and showing them just how much they have to offer others.
Seeing them support, encourage and inspire our younger athletes made me realise what a difference this scheme can make, not only to the trainee coaches themselves but also to those lucky enough to experience their coaching. 💚
It’s about bringing communities together, breaking down barriers and showing that everyone has something valuable to give.
And if Friday night is anything to go by, we’re only just getting started! 🚀
💚
