When I visit schools for freestyle football workshops, itβs not just the pupils who get involved β I always encourage teachers and staff to join in and try the skills as well.
β½ Teachers Learning New Skills Creates a Positive Example
Seeing teachers step out of their comfort zones to try freestyle football tricks has a powerful impact on pupils. When students watch their teachers:
- Attempt new skills
- Make mistakes and fail
- Keep trying and eventually succeed
- Have fun during the process
β¦it sends a strong message that learning is a lifelong journey, and itβs okay to make mistakes along the way.
π Building a Growth Mindset Through Freestyle Football
Freestyle football workshops arenβt just about football tricks β theyβre about building confidence, resilience, and a growth mindset.
When teachers model this mindset by:
- Trying the basics like toe bounces and around the world
- Laughing at mistakes
- Celebrating small wins
β¦it encourages pupils to adopt the same approach. This promotes a positive learning environment where everyone feels comfortable to try, fail, and improve.
π« Why Teacher Participation Boosts Engagement
Teacher involvement:
- Increases pupil motivation
- Enhances classroom rapport
- Demonstrates that everyone can learn new skills
- Creates memorable moments that pupils talk about long after the workshop
When teachers show enthusiasm for freestyle football, pupils get inspired to push themselves harder and enjoy the experience even more.
