After a martial arts class, it's crucial not to overlook the silent students. These students are consistently present but often remain unnoticed due to their quiet nature, which can be risky as their needs may go unmet without any apparent signs of struggle.
As a member of the Leadership Team, make it a priority to approach these quieter students. Introduce yourself and initiate conversations that show genuine interest in their training progress.
Ask questions like, "How are your classes going?" or "How did that new kick feel during practice?" or even "Are you excited about your upcoming exam?" This kind of engagement can make a significant difference in their martial arts journey.
Moreover, be sure to pay attention to students who appear to have difficulties during the class. Offering to go over the material again if they have time can be incredibly beneficial.
This approach not only aids their learning but also prevents them from feeling left behind.
Our instructors often have their hands full immediately after class, leaving some students hesitant to ask for the extra help they need. This is where the Leadership Team becomes indispensable, bridging the gap between students and instructors.
By stepping in to provide that additional support, you ensure that every student receives the attention necessary to succeed and feel valued in their martial arts practice.
