Wissal, learning from the difficulty– One Team VII, Week IV

27/11/2018

The fourth training session of the seventh One Team project with Valencia Basket has worked the verbal communication between all the participants, working on the court learning how to work as a team.

 

At the information level, the session served to learn the personal history of Wissal, who has overcome a childhood full of difficulty. “I had to decide between staying in Morocco (where I am from) or coming to Spain. I couldn’t decide much anyway, my father ordered me to go with my sister. I stayed with her for a year, but we had problems and she throw me out of her house. I was under 18 so I went to a children’s shelter” says.

 

But the real problema arrived when she was 18 years old. “But problems came when I turned 18 and I had to face real life. There aren’t a lot of emancipation flats, so ending up sleeping in the streets it’s a possibility. I was in a emancipation flat but I had to leave because I failed two subjects” tells.

 

The role of her shelter and “Mamás en Acción” is very important to change these kind of situations. “Obviously when you are in the children’s shelter you don’t like it, but when you are out it’s when you appreciate all the things you have had” says. “I think ‘’Mamás en acción’’ it’s a big support for these kids, because they need the affection they don’t have in their lifes. It’s very interesting they can come here to break away from their lifes and feel like other kids, because sometimes they feel discriminated against by society” she thinks.

 

Ten sessions, a goal

This project "One Team VII" has planned ten training sessions that will take place on Tuesdays from tomorrow, November 6 in the afternoon until the month of January. With them, participants are expected to live positive experiences and develop healthy habits of personal improvement that can be transferred to the school or work environment. All this through the learning of the basic concepts 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 direct their steps so that they can find in the practice of any sport activity a way to grow as people
