We got to understand him a little better and the reason he was doing certain things. He was a middle son with two other brothers and didn’t really get attention from his parents. We started to work with him on a more 121 basis so we would be playing a game and then take him out of the game to show him something to do and he’d do it. We bonded and created a strong connection. He smiles and loves seeing me now and I still try and work with him at different sports. I love his passion for games- it’s like every time we play a game it’s the biggest game of his life and it’s inspirational. Since his engagement at the club his family have reported an improvement in his behaviour, communication skills and self control’
