wonderful! A lot of your tips can be applied teachers of any craft! I know- cause I teach art to little ones. There is nothing that matters more than making personal connections, jumping in show a kid how to hold a paint brush correctly ( in my case anyway) and then letting it go if they choose not too try it, meeting each one where they are, letting them get silly, then pulling them back in - they’re kids!
“I can still remember kind things and shitty things that coaches said to me as a child.” I was in high school but I’ll never forget “Nicky Comeau if I stuck a qtip in one of your ears it would come out the other side” 40 years later. 🤦🏼♀️ (And you know if you ever open a gym and start coaching again I’ll be your first customer!) Good stuff!
Kudos to you for making a difference in kids' lives. Sometimes a sincere "Well done” can mean so much.
