Introducing
SPORTZ SMARTZ
A FUN after/before school program based on Football (Soccer) specially designed to Accelerate the Cognitive, Physical Development and Mindset Empowerment of Primary School aged children.
Children start out with a love to Try, Learn & Grow but many times this is lost.
It’s not about digesting more content; it’s about focusing on building their abilities.
“OVERALL, WE INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO TAP INTO THE CAPACITIES THEY ALREADY HAVE.
IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT GIVING THEM THE BEST CHANCE TO REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL”.
Sportz Smartz helps children:
- Rekindle that fire inside them to love to Try, Learn & Grow;
- Sow the seeds for a lifelong belief that activity & exercise is healthy & fun;
- Identify and tap into their inner-strength, self-belief, and self-efficacy;
- Builds their self-confidence;
- Accelerate the development of their physical abilities;
- Learn better in the classroom (1*) by developing their cognitive abilities and the higher executive functions of cognitive performance;
- Build their resilience by developing a powerful belief system;
- Be strategic: think ahead and anticipate risk;
- Be willing to try hard things;
- Understand the importance of positive self-talk in achieving goals;
- Maintain their calm, think fast and perform in Challenging Environments;
- Meet new friends and work together in a Team Environment.
The Building Blocks are our 4x Powerhouse-Pillars.
(1*) NB. research shows that optimizing these directly “improve academic performance in children” and “is positively associated with childhood ability to manage perceptual interference and spelling” (J Pediatr 2016;173:136-42))
the beauty of using Football (Soccer)?
Football is ideal because children easily understand the concept quickly and yet it is infinitely complex both physically and cognitively. Plus, it is equally effective for both girls and boys.
