Session Summary

Regular attendees at the Success School are invited to a bonus session at Arsenal Football Club. Participants will hear from two inspirational young coaches from inner city London, who have turned their lives around after considerable early difficulties and are now making a valuable contribution to society through coaching youngsters with Arsenal in the Community. There will be time to ask questions, followed by a full, behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium.

A group of regular participants of the Dialogue Society’s Success School enjoyed a bonus session held not at the Dialogue Society but at Arsenal FC. The group heard the stories of two young coaches who grew up on local estates and now work with Arsenal in the Community, coaching local youngsters. Both had been drawn into destructive cultures in their youth and had been involved in crime. Their accounts of how they were able to turn their lives around when Arsenal offered them a chance to do something positive were truly inspirational. Following the session with these coaches, the group enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium.
