Fun and companionship with Mario - One Team VIII, Week V

16/12/2019

The fifth training day of the eighth Euroleague RSC One Team project with Valencia Basket served to work non-verbal communication between the members of the Maria Auxiliadora Foundation, with different exercises helping to improve this skill among the members of the activity.

 

A very useful session specifically for Mario, a boy who tries to overcome his shyness through his favorite sport. The protagonist of this week told why he started at the Laura Vicuña Center. “I really liked what my brother was doing there and that's why I wanted to sign up. Besides, basketball is what I like the most” he said.

 

Since he became part of the One Team, Mario has learnt many things that he tries to apply both on and off the court. “Now it is less difficult for me to communicate. They teach us things like respect to teammates, not to hit them, not to make fouls, companionship, etc.” he explained. That has helped Mario to improve his behaviour: "I try to be attentive, smart and a good teammate" he explained.

 

For Mario, basketball in general and One Tem in particular, are recommended for anyone. "You can have a lot of fun and also when you do it you feel free" he concluded.

 

Maria Auxiliadora Foundation

Promoted by the daughters of María Auxiliadora (Salesianas), its fundamental mission is to respond to the socio-educational needs of children, teenagers, youth and women at risk and/or social exclusion. The Foundation tries to respond, through all the projects and services it carries out, to the needs of the groups in a situation of exclusion and to help transform our society into a more fair and more humane world. The goal is that all the people who participate in the project feel welcomed, valued and protagonists of their own growth process. Through this, social projects for inclusion, promotion and social and labor insertion are promoted.

 

Ten sessions, one goal

This project "One Team VIII" has planned ten training sessions that will take place on Fridays from November 8 in the afternoon until January. With them, the participants live positive experiences and develop healthy habits of self-improvement that can be transferred to the school or work environment. All this through learning the basics of a collective sport such as basketball, which will help participants to know the values of sacrifice and responsibility that derive from organized exercise, use sport as a formula for personal development and make them take the steps towards that they can find in the practice of any sport activity a way to grow as people.
