In July 2011, Daniel Larner (Company Owner and Head of Development) travelled to Egypt to deliver a course designed to teach Egyptian Coaching Candidates at CAE how to introduce young children aged 2.5-5.5 years to the wonderful game of football.
As per the Elite Feet philosophy, introducing children to sports at this age is extremely important, and creating an association between a 'ball' and 'fun' at this early age give players the opportunity to start the game early, and develop a passion for years to come... if not the rest of their lives!
Working closely with Academy Technical Director, David Al Basha and starting with 30 candidates the course included various modules and exciting excercises in not only the sort of games and philosophies that should be applied when teaching this age group, but also a greater understanding of how children learn and develop at this age. Each participant had to take part in an assessment where they delivered sessions planned with all course modules in mind. The course ended with the strongest 15 participants passing the course, ready to deliver sessions. |

All candidates expressed their delight in receiving new skills in a course that was thoroughly enjoyable to attend, and it was mentioned time and time again that their enthusiasm and hunger to continually develop had been enhanced by getting a further understanding of session management in working with Daniel. Here's what some of the candidates thought: "I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of a very enriching unique coaching experience. I truly enjoyed every moment of the 5 day course, and I have learnt more about myself and of my capabilities.I would like to thank Daniel for providing all candidates the chance to learn a unique skill through his games. I believe that Egypt does need such calibre and professionalism to deliver a healthy program to the future leaders of this world" - Nadine Wasfi, Course Participant |

"In only five days I learned what I thought that I need months or may be years to learn, Daniel not only taught us how to deal with kids or how to handle their issues, but he taught us how to do this with passion & how to love what we do." Mohamed Galal, Course Participant " My decision to join the course was mainly influenced by the enthusiastic and charismatic introduction of the course I received from Mr.Larner. Mr. Larner later confirmed my first impression throughout the duration of the course on each of the following 5 days. Aside from the excellent presentation of the material, the course work, practical examples and getting me very involved in the course, Mr Larner was dedicated to setting each one of the participants of the course to success. He presented the material in a very organized manner. He remained always enthusiastic triggering our interest and assuring that we remain enthusiastic and committed to learning. His team building skills are unmatched. The learning environment was very positive, based on building the foundations of a strong team. I believe that he brought out a side of each one of us that we didn't even know existed. The problem solving methods, games, continious feedback, and assessments kept me informed of what my strengths and weaknesses are, how to enhance my strengths and work around my weaknesses. He was also very professional, understanding, respectful, and culturally sensitive. If I were to rate my overall experience with this course, I would say it's an easy 10 out of 10" Sara Tabana, Course Participant |
