A programme designed to help children develop mental resilience through sports.
Each week, participants will focus on building and understanding a key aspect of mental strength using multi-skill sports activities. This initiative is a collaboration between Total Sports Coaching, Changing Minds Kent CIC (mental health specialists), qualified therapists who work with children, and Sports Connect (education provider).
What’s Involved?
The six-week programme combines physical activity with multi-skills coaching, group and individual discussions, activities, and questionnaires to continuously assess the children’s emotional development and understanding. It focuses on six key skills: understanding emotions, teamwork, communication, mindset, resilience, and confidence. The programme is structured in this order to facilitate the progressive development of these mental strengths.
At the beginning and end of the programme, participants will complete a questionnaire, along with weekly tokens to express how they feel at the start and end of each session. This approach helps us gauge how the children perceive their own mental strength and track how the programme impacts them over time. The initial questionnaire is completed after the first session, giving children some context for reflecting on mental strength skills. Results are shared with the school at the end, providing measurable insights to support the school’s understanding of each child’s progress.
