For students who are looking, mini golf is a good school: as in life, goals are achieved, but the path is strewn with pitfalls and perseverance is the key to success. Some students have quickly learned the benefits for their education and personal development.
In fact, 6 pupils from St Charles took up the challenge and participate in tournaments since september 2010 and took official FFM license for 2011.
As for other individual sports, we do not fight directly against an opponent but above all against oneself. This is a message that Marc Bonnet their give on the field and in his speech in the classroom for a lesson of "mental coaching" crossing the barriers of tracks like the pitfalls in life.
Minigolf competition is a very fun way to give them confidence and awareness of their own personality and empower their daily lives.
"Bad score on a fast track, forget it and go to the next = self-control!"
And as a pupil said: "Perseverance and how to overcome the difficulties!"
