Gym with Mr. Craig

My name is Craig. I am from London, England and I am now living in Haarlem! I have a big passion for sports. I have been working as a sports coach for 9 years in the UK and have always enjoyed coaching as no day is the same! Before coaching I used to be a athlete, my distance was the 200m and 400m where I managed to get to the Olympic trial stage in 2008. My other big passion is teaching. I think it’s important to help children progress through positive learning experiences. Adding fun to learning creates the best educational experience possible.

In gym they have been learning and practising skills such as:

• hand eye coordination (i.e catching, throwing)

• agility

• balance

• using equipment appropriately

• following instructional steps

• listening in the gym

Next up: sportsmanship, team building, using a racket, using different sports equipment
