First sports victory Team HeadFirst Group
We proudly look back on a great soccer adventure. Two selection days, a seminar by none other than Jan van Halst, various training sessions and to cap it all the friendly match against AJAX | Only Friends. Despite the fact that team HeadFirst Group came onto the field ready to play, including matching outfits, they still made things difficult for us. It remained exciting until the end.
What started as an enthusiastic initiative grew into a real soccer team. Based on the (strict) selection days, coach - and colleague - Michel Kakisina was able to compose the team. In preparation, Jan van Halst gave both the players and the rest of the HeadFirst Group colleagues an inspiring seminar in our own theater. With the motivating words in their pockets, all team members could prove themselves one more time during the official training. Here they got extra tips & tricks from the former professional football player and it was the perfect moment for coach Michel to assign all players to a tactical position. A good preparation is half the work.
Hidden soccer talents?
Still, many colleagues had some questions at the beginning. Would there be team members with professional potential? Or should we consider ourselves lucky if some will soon be off the field? Although some colleagues sneaked through, we also discovered soccer talents. For example, our own striker Bart van der Geest who unexpectedly scored the first goal and flying goalkeeper Niels Knapen who keeps the balls up both on the field and on the shop floor. Thanks to midfielder Jeroen van der Zijden's winning goal, we got the win. Of course the rest of team HeadFirst Group should not be forgotten, including supporters. What a great performance they put up! Of course this could not be celebrated without a drink at the club. After all, it was a friendly match.
What a fantastic experience to have worked towards this as a team! This definitely tastes like more, so what's next?
