• Boy nine years• ““I was a member of of a soccer-team. But I dropped out, because I didn’t like it

anymore…. They said : you can’t do this , you are a loser… well at the end nobody passed the ball to me anymore.. And than they said I never scored, but I never received the ball.. Then I didn’t like it anymore. If they just had been a little bit more kind….then I would have liked it…

• “ I am in the bus for two hours every day, so by the time I get home everybody is gone

kinderen onderschrijven belang van het aanbod; 64% van de doelen wordt bereikt… (maar

Kinderen in het BO beheersen slechts 50% van de vaardigheden (Cito, 2006), dit is 20% minder dan

Example Special heroes

1 CHILD

“no central findings or difficult to say”

•Succes: Sportskills of coach, expertise on children is limited.

•Future: Autistic children and children with anxiety disorder are difficult

2 TASK

•Succes: “Based on interest op the child”

•Most wanted: soccer, selfdefence, dance, gymnastics (freerunning), fitness

Future: sport must be different for each child, attention for the behavior

process instead of outcome, more success directed than competition

- Environment: ideal in regular clubs, but not possible for every child

14

RESULTS: SPECIAL HEROES ?

3 Coach

• “I thought, why they don’t coach these coaches before they send them off to a

school like ours….”

- Opinion teachers: sportknowledge is sufficient, lack of knowledge on safety,

structure and relationship.

- Opinion children: sportknowledge is sufficient, more on barriers and regulating

conduct

4 Environment

“”Some sports must be done in special environments and aren’t possible in

schools”

- Opinion teachers : essential succesfactor: motivation of the sportsclub

- Opinion parents: barriers: money, time, negative experiences, lack of

knowledge of coaches on child characteristics
