For this week I learned more about therapeutic coaching and looking back at last week's experience of training a person with Asperger syndrome in my sport and making the workout appropriate to him so he can enjoy working out has led me to try to learn more about coaching people with other disabilities and I am currently preparing workouts and planning workouts for people with disabilities to see how I do and gain experience on what I can do to help them and motivate them to keep their physical activity fun and part of their lives

W10 Discussion: Professional Toolbox
This week I found it fascinating to experience what it would be like to have a disability when playing a sport and I learned a lot on how to communicate with people with disabilities and I also respected them more for pushing through their struggles and not seeing their disabilities as a weakness but rather find a way to still be able to have fun, enjoy every moment and find a positive way to push through their struggles

In this week's lesson, the thing I found most enlightening was learning how to better understand the needs of people with wheelchairs and how can I better include them in sports activities and make them accessible and even fun for them keeping in mind their needs and also communicate with them to better understand what can I do better to help.
The one thing I will try to use shortly is to learn more about the needs of people with wheelchairs and see how can I include them in more sociable activities.

W07 Discussion: Professional Toolbox
In this week's lesson, the thing I found most enlightening learning was how can we make our facilities even more accessible for people with different disabilities. In this case, we learned about deaf people and I loved how we can even make people with hearing loss disabilities feel more included by having people and coaches for example who can sign language and make them feel included.
The one thing I will try to use shortly is to learn more about other disabilities so that I can incorporate and learn how to make them feel more welcomed and included in my facilities
