Sports for Emotional and Social Wellbeing 

Building a generation that thrives, emotionally and socially, through sport

At SportsEQ, we combine the power of sports with emotional intelligence to create life-changing programs for kids, schools, parents and academies. Our mission is to teach children how to manage their emotions, build resilience, and become leaders both on and off the field. We believe in using the joy and challenges of sport to nurture essential life skills that last a lifetime.

Emotional Growth through Sports

Tackling the Loneliness Crisis Post-COVID-19

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, isolation has skyrocketed, with a 2021 study reporting that 45% of young people felt lonely often or always (BBC Loneliness Experiment). At SportsEQ, we address this by creating a team environment where kids learn not just how to play football but also how to engage and connect socially. Through teamwork, shared goals, and group activities, children build lasting friendships and learn to navigate social interactions—skills that extend beyond the pitch and into their everyday lives.

Inclusion for All: Breaking Barriers through Sports

Sports should be for everyone. Research shows that inclusive activities foster better learning and growth for all students (Inclusion in Sport, UNESCO). At SportsEQ, we offer bilingual (English and Spanish) programs to ensure that language is never a barrier, and our curriculum is designed for children of all backgrounds and abilities. By making football and emotional intelligence training accessible to everyone, we help children build confidence, empathy, and the skills needed to thrive in any setting.

Using Football to Tackle the Mental Health Crisis

With anxiety and depression rates on the rise—affecting nearly 20% of children and adolescents globally (World Health Organization)—it’s more important than ever to equip kids with tools to manage their emotions. SportsEQ uses football to teach emotional resilience, leadership, and emotional intelligence, helping children learn to cope with stress both on and off the field. These are life skills that transfer into school, friendships, and future careers, making kids more prepared for the challenges of everyday life.

Emotional Intelligence Football Classes

Our Emotional Intelligence Football Classes are designed to help young athletes develop critical emotional skills through engaging football sessions. These classes focus on teaching children how to manage their emotions on and off the field, fostering growth in self-awareness and empathy. Participants will learn to navigate the emotional highs and lows of sport, enhancing their ability to work effectively in team environments. Our skilled coaches integrate football drills with emotional intelligence exercises, offering a unique blend of physical and mental development. By focusing on emotional regulation, participants are better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks. These classes aim to build confidence and resilience, essential traits for personal development. Suitable for all skill levels, our classes provide a supportive environment for every child to thrive.

Mentoring Workshops

Our Mentoring Workshops focus on two main wins, equip young individuals with skills to overcome adversity through interactive activities and discussions, and train them to become mentors for pastoral care at their schools. Participants develop a growth mindset, communication skills, and teamwork, guided by experienced facilitators. Ideal for schools and community groups, these workshops enhance emotional well-being and provide practical strategies for daily life.
