The Bolivian enthusiasm for soccer



It belongs to the things, which are absolute obviously for boys and girls will never understand it. Whenever I walk to the school for English lessons or just for lunch, I meet the children und teenager already on the streets and the only thing they want to know, is when the next soccerl lessons take place.

I think it´s because everybody knows that I am a very bad soccer player and it makes them fun to outsmart me. In conclusion to that, I don´t know many techniques and exercises, so the main subject of my lessons is making games, they love. They also keep one´s tail up by adverse conditions and even play in slippers und with exhausted balls.

I think soccer is more than just sport and motion. It´s also a very important opportunity to teach them they have to be considerate of each other. By playing in teams they learn that they´re stronger in facing their problems together than in fighting alone.
