SCHOOL OF LIFE Horst Wein presents:
A TOOL FOR EFFECTIVE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION
with children learn:
to strive for something
Nothing can be achieved without effort
to identify "space" and how
to exploit it
to dominate a key parameter for their lives: "time"
with the player

Gives all his commitment and ability for the sake of his team
Values the participation and effort of teammates
Learns to respect his opponent, even if, currently, he performs at a higher level, but without being daunted by him.
Shows resilience in the face of adversity continuing to perform to his utmost regardless of the result
COOPERATION AND TEAMWORK
Without teamwork you cannot reach
the goal:
the individual serves the
group
Children learn to support each other in attack and defence
Since each team is made up of only 3
players, each player depends on the others
currently being played in 30 countries
TEACHES FAIR PLAY

Resist committing fouls to gain an
advantage
Accept referee errors as an
integral part of the game
Always congratulate
winning opponents at the end of the

misfortune

referee

allows players to make their own experiences and learn from their mistakes.
FUNio represents the revival of street football in the 21st century, without adult interference or over-coaching
Basic game situations are repeated often which greatly enhances learning
Mistakes are welcomed as excellent tools for improvement
The simplicity of the game allows a child to self-correct without the need for adult feedback There is no need for constant instruction as the GAME itself is the true teacher, not the coach
helps children to controls their emotions
Fewer players creates greater
intensity for children with more
mistakes and successes,
producing lots of emotions
Many more goals are scored than in
professional football bringing more
emotional highs and lows helping children to
adapt to them.
The games is too engrossing
to be distracted by
outside influences
Having the ball always closeby
demands greater
concentration
Players must think before
they act and not just react
emotionally
Anger manage-
ment
Self-control
Respond well when
fouled against
Maintain control
even if the result goes against you
Maintain harmony of the group, regardless
of the outcome
Admit mistakes
Appro-priate
aggres-sion
Inter-depen-dance
Self reli- ance
COMMUNICATION
the SOLUTION
Use the power of intelligence
STARTS IN THE HEAD, PASSES THE HEART AND FINISHES WITH THE FEET!
The difference between KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE ?
INTELLIGENCE
Learning is only significant when motor learning is combined with cognitive learning!
forces players to think ahead before acting, anticipating possible outcomes, to stay one step ahead of your opponent
The 4 goals encourage players to perceive, understand and process all information, find solutions, to the problems encountered, choose the best one available and finally execute the skill.
IMPROVED SKILLS OF PERCEPTION
It is essential to train the non-
dominant eye of every young
player by reducing the sensory
input for the dominant-eye
using an eye-patch
Similarly it is important to
reinforce his less able foot or
arm in order to become a more balanced athlete
STIMULATES CREATIVITY
Fear of making mistakes limits most
people
The most serious failure of our
education system is to emphasize errors
Emphasizing errors inhibits the creative
ability of young athletes
Creativity allows you to develop new
projects and tackle new challenges
What should a coach do to encourage the
creativity of his players?

ACCEPT THE RULES AS PART OF THE GAME
DEVELOP SKILLS AND ABILITIES ACCORDING TO THE RULES
FIT PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE RULES
USE THE RULES TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
ENFORCE THE RULES FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME
The principle goal of education is to help develop people who are capable of doing new things and not simply repeating what
other generations have done: people who are creative,
innovative and discoverers.
Dont be afraid to make mistakes. Look how very young children behave. In our current education system mistakes are the worst
thing you can make, effectively educating people out of their creative capacities!
CREATIVITY allows us new ideas, innovations, dreams
HELPS PLAYERS SOCIALLY Consider matches and games as a way to make friends
Support teammates when they are struggling
Keep order and harmony in the group regardless of the outcome
Support and encourage teammates when they make mistakes
Dont tollerate aggression toward teammates and opponents
Dont mock other players, especially after a victory
Dont intimidate teammates physically
Dont discriminate against others based on ability, race or sex
Appreciate the abilities and performance of your opponent
Respect opponents whose performance level does not match your own
Support and encourage teammates through the good and the bad

teaches us to live a better life and contributes to the personal
development of all young people. Through active participation, young people learn
to make better use of their free time, and enjoy a better quality of life.
In addition, the game teaches girls and boys to be honest, supportive and
productive, rather than being conditioned by todays negative lifestyle trends,
especially sedentary inactivity. Active., productive and engaged sporting pursuits
can shield children from unrealistic adult expectations which oftern result in
vandalism, violence and crime.
