Obama was appointed quarterback in a pickup football game with the children, shouting, “Touchdown! That was a great catch,” in a video shared by the Youth Academy on Twitter. Then he gave the group a pep talk.

“If you guys work hard in school and listen to your coaches, you guys are going to do great things. Alright? So, I’m going to be on the lookout for you. I think you’re going to do something important. You guys are going to make a real difference,” Obama told the kids in a heartfelt speech.

Obama reportedly told a boys’ team and girls’ team facing off in a softball scrimmage that his skills at the game weren’t great.

“My game is so raggedy that, if it was captured on camera that I struck out, it would be super embarrassing,” he said, according to People.
