The Answer To The Future
"Life (Learning) is not linear, it's organic"
- Sir Ken Robinson
Following on from yesterdays daily comment, I wanted to continue the theme of learning and education and point you in the direction of Sir Ken Robinson whose talk 'Bring on the learning revolution' looks at making schools less linear and more organic.
His thoughts on changing an "industrial model of education... to a model of principles based on agriculture" and "customising and personalising education to the people you're actually teaching" really struck a cord with me.
The kids who we coach every week love their football. The passion they have for it feeds their spirit and soul. If we take a industrial, linear and conformity approach of teaching, then it's this method that they loose their passion and their interest in the game starts to diminish.
But if we take as what Sir Ken Robinson calls an "an approach based more on principles of agriculture" then I believe children can flourish.
When preparing a session, my aim is to create an environment in which my players are challenged but also an environment where they can meet and move with those ever changing challenges so to develop and improve as footballers.
