At the event last week I spoke with Craig and we discussed some opportunities that I would be interested. I showed my interest in dance and gymnastics coaching and he said he would try and arrange some sessions for me to lead. Following on from our discussion Craig has contacted me regarding dance sessions for two schools over a six week period. The first school is Riverside Primary School and will take place on Wednesdays in the school and the second is Fallin Primary School which will take place on Fridays in The Alpha Centre.
Both groups of children will be aged primary 5-7. I am really looking forward to delivering these sessions as I believe it is something I am confident with and will be really good at. I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to do something that I love. I do have slightly anxious feelings towards the thoughts of will the classes be busy? will they like the way I structure the classes? will they have fun? I am going to try and not let these thoughts consume me too much and try and stay positive.
In addition to these sessions Craig has also gave us a few upcoming event opportunities. There are two events coming up in November working with Sport Disability Scotland. I am now feeling less stressed about the fact that I won’t be able to get my hours completed thanks to the opportunities Craig has offered me. I was really worried that I was running out of time due to my PVG taking a few weeks to come but now that I have my PVG and my sessions and events have been organised I feel very relieved. I am now in a position where I feel I can now relax and enjoy the experience.
I am glad that your PVG has been processed allowing you to get your placement underway. I think it is great that you are jumping straight in and delivering sessions because i know i couldnt. It looks like Criag has alot of opportunties allowing you to diversify into different markets relating to the sports indusrty. Overall, i hope your work experience goes well and i wish you all the best.- Lauren
I’m glad that you are now able to start your placement. It’s so good you have been able to find an opportunity that you will enjoy, I’m sure the kids will love your dance lessons.
