This event aims to explore how sport coaches can integrate psych / social assessment and development into their practice. You will have the opportunity to discuss existing practices, see samples sessions as well as plan and deliver your own session. 
 
This event will be football-orientated; however, we feel it would be suitable for any coaches interested in psychological and social development through all sports. This event will also be useful for those involved in the leadership and management of sport programmes such as; academy managers, phase leads, heads of coaching and coach developers. 

Research has consistently shown the benefits of sport and physical activity for children. We also know how pivotal the role of the coach can be in nurturing positive experiences and promoting these benefits. That said, concerns have been raised for the happiness and healthiness of children including the reduction in sports participation rates and ethical concerns within young athletes. 

This 1-day event will bring together leading practitioners and coaches working with children to present, share and discuss ways of best creating positive experiences for children. Through sharing stories and working collaboratively we hope to maximise the power of movement and sport to support and promote children's health and happiness. 

Research has consistently shown how important childhood can be for developing a positive and meaningful relationship with movement and physical activity. We also know how pivotal the roles of teachers, coaches and parents / guardians can be in nurturing these positive experiences. That said, concerns for the children remain with some less active and unhealthier than ever before, whilst others are more involved in intensified and professional programmes. 

This 1-day event will bring together leading researchers and practitioners working with and in schools to present, share and discuss ways of supporting child and adolescent Physical Literacy (“our relationship with movement and physical activity throughout life”) in schools. Through sharing stories and working collaboratively we hope to support and promote children's health and happiness through movement, sport and physical education. 

(open to all students across universities)
