Being a staff member at a Children\u2019s Cultural Centre, Thu teaches art performance and offers cultural activities to children and teenagers. Not a football player herself, she is excited to implement what she has learned as a Young Coach in her work with the kids. Combining her activities with educational messages is especially important for Thu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

My Story<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“I grew up in the South of Vietnam and was raised as an only child by my parents. In my childhood I played badminton and volleyball but I didn\u2019t have any football experiences prior to my participation in the Young Coach education programme. I am very creative and love music and the arts.<\/p>\n

I studied pedagogy to become a teacher and now I work at the Children\u2019s Cultural Centre in Long An. Even though I am not a specialised sports teacher, I help out with physical education when the centre is short on staff. This is why the football education programme is of great value to me.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the programme, I was a little bit shy and nervous about my football skills. I was worried that I would not be good enough to become a Young Coach. However, these worries soon vanished as I met the other Young Coaches and started learning basic football skills, as well as activities and games which I could do with the children. I grew more confident and now I believe that I can be a football coach and organise regular activities and a football festival on my own.<\/p>\n

I am really excited about becoming a Young Coach because I think this education programme will help me organise engaging activities for the children at the cultural centre. I realised that sometimes, arts and music activities can be boring for the kids. Football games on the other hand are very energetic and creative at the same time. I will try to incorporate these activities into my daily work.<\/p>\n

When I am back home in the South of Vietnam, I will invite children from neighbouring schools to participate in a big football festival and enjoy fun games, as well as educational games on environment protection or hygiene. I am very excited about coming back for the second and third module and learning more about how to help children participate more actively and enthusiastically in my activities.”<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n
