ORLANDO – In basketball or any other sport for that matter, it’s essential for coaches to motivate and inspire athletes. Especially when they first start playing a sport, children depend on their coaches for guidance, knowledge and support.
The same applies in the classroom. Students rely on teachers for direction and encouragement. When the bond is strong, so is performance typically. The earlier a child builds trust with their teachers, the more likely it is that they will have greater academic success.
Due to the incredible commitment from the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF) and the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County (ELCOC), there are more qualified and reliable mentors spread throughout Orlando and its neighboring communities.
