Assalamualaikum dan Selamat Sejahtera kepada semua pembaca blog ini..
Alhamdulillah pagi ini hujan turun dengan lebat, dingin dan redup.. Matahari mula menunjukkan diri jadi inilah masa yang sesuai untuk sidai baju di luar.. Harap kering semua kain baju hari ini..
Al-kisah Ahad minggu lepas merupakan hari pertama saya menghantar anak teruna ke Kelab Bola sepak idamannya iaitu S2 Football Club (S2FC) - Grassroots Football Academy.. Pagi ini kali kedua training diadakan tapi hanya sempat 45 minit sebelum hujan turun..

S2 Football Club - Grassroots Football Academy |
Sebenarnya saya dalam dilema, al-maklum pernah ada
sejarah tangan bengkok kesan jatuh main bola sepak di sekolah tempoh hari.. Bila fikir semula permintaan dan harapan anak maka timbul rasa kesian. Mana tidak bila ada pertandingan bola sepak antara kelas, pasti dia tak terpilih sebab takde skill, orang tak pernah main bola sepak katakan so main ikut suka. Atas sebab ini saya turutkan juga kemahuannya.. Ini kira sindrom mak-mak sayang anak kalau boleh sentiasa letak bawah ketiak! hihihi

Siap sedia untuk warm-up |
Kali ini saya tak boleh teragak-agak untuk buat keputusan, janji saya kalau ada peningkatan dalam peperiksaan akhir tahun ini dia boleh join kelab bola sepak S2FC ini. Maka janji sudah ditunaikan so tinggallah mama dia pula tunaikan janji.. Janji perlu ditepati, gituuu..
|
Get ready |
Tiada syarat khas untuk masuk S2FC ini janji anak minat. Kalau takde minat tak jadi.. Yuran pendaftaran RM150.90 termasuk RM30.00 yuran bulan pertama. Latihan dijalankan setiap hari Ahad. Selesai pendaftaran masuk, ahli dibekalkan baju kelab, seluar dan stokin. Ibubapa ahli akan dimasukkan dalam group WhatsApp.. Maka berjemaah lahh mak pak semua dalam tu untuk dapat info berkenaan jadual latihan, pertandingan, pemilihan pemain dan segala aktiviti kelab.

Sesi latihan S2 Football Club |
Selesai sesi pertama latihan.. Puas hati anak teruna sorang ni tercapai juga hajat dia..
Semoga usaha ini membuahkan hasil dan bukan sekadar hangat-hangat tahi ayam..
Okay, sebelum mengakhiri post ini saya kongsi petikan dari Trevlyn Mayo Palframan untuk menggambarkan usaha saya ini :
"One of my friends asked : "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to do all their sports?" Well I have a confession to make, I don't pay for my kids to to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport they do.
So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't.
- I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go to their training but they go anyway.
- I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.
- I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body and equipment.
- I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates, gracious in defeat and humble in success.
- I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.
- I pay for my kids to learn to make and accomplish goals.
- I pay for my kids to respect, not only themselves, but other riders, officials and coaches.
- I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.
- I pay for my kids to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.
- I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of their achievements as I am.
- I pay so that my kids can be out on the track instead of in front of a screen...
... I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kids with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!"
