VIDEO; Chelsea star Raheem Sterling left baffled after seeing schoolkids mock his running style

Chelsea star Raheem Sterling was left speechless when a group of schoolchildren mocked his running style.

Sterling certainly has a distinctive running style, keeping his forearms up as he strides forward while not swinging his arms back and forth.

He once credited his mother, who was once a competitive runner, for the unusual style in a 2018 interview with talkSPORT.

In a recent video, the winger was preparing to show an example of a training drill to a group of schoolchildren, where he weaved in between a set of cones with the ball at his feet.

When the teacher tells his class to stand up and repeat the drill themselves, they begin running - mocking Sterling's run with their arms in the process.

The England international can only look on with a slightly confused look on his face, before asking the teacher: "They're not mocking me, are they?"

The teacher replies: "They're kids. They've asked if you could sign these?"

In a separate clip, the teacher then consoles Sterling as they walk outside the school: "They don't appreciate you like I do. I like how you run."

Why are they running like that? 😂😉

Fortunately for Sterling, however, the reaction of the schoolchildren was part of an advert for Clarks, for which the Chelsea winger is a Global Brand Ambassador.

The duo released a boot collection last year, which paid homage to Sterling's home town of Kingston, Jamaica.
