Gamechangers project at The Hague football club

For The Hague football club VCS, I'm rolling out the Gamechangers project to three groups, together with Romano from the Mentality Foundation. It's a Sunday afternoon when I arrive for the first time at a football clubhouse like everyone remembers from their youth: outdated furniture and cigarette butts on the floor, yet still cozy and welcoming, and everyone feels at home.

The boys have already been informed by the Mentality Foundation that a social project called Gamechangers is coming up. They've announced me as "a mystery guest who isn't directly interested in football, but certainly has a thing for a ball." Although the young people are enthusiastic about the idea of ​​contributing to society and have already come up with some interesting ideas of their own, they're still a bit hesitant. It's certainly nerve-wracking, not knowing what's expected of you on a Sunday morning.

GC football

We begin with the literal kickoff. The ball is passed to someone, and they can explain why they're there. Gradually, they begin to feel more comfortable. During the break, we go outside, and I join in some soccer games. Now the ice is completely broken, and we can move on to the kickoff: daring to dream out loud about their own ideas for the final event. The young people tell us they want to organize a tournament for all the clubs in the region, with fun entertainment. They busily begin planning and discussing. It's wonderful to see how this diverse group of young people is brought together by their passion for soccer and how the Gamechangers project supports their desire to contribute to society. In short: a fulfilling kickoff! I'm curious to see what this final event will ultimately look like, and I look forward to contributing to it.
