The main aim of the project is to develop teenager’s life skills through the creation of an intervention programme in partnership with Carmarthen Golf Club.

Carmarthenshire County Council found that older teenagers/young adults are struggling with the stresses and demands of modern life and that their health and wellbeing has suffered as a consequence. So the local authority is working proactively ensuring that young people are ready for the future so that they can thrive in adulthood.

One of the aims from the beginning of the project was to develop it over the longer term, the nature of the research lends itself to longer term analysis and impact; measuring transfer of life skills from sport to other environments.

The design implementation & evaluation of a resilient coping & life skills development plan for adolescents within a Football Coach Education programme (The Student Perspective)

My KESS project is a collaboration between Cardiff Metropolitan University and the Welsh Football Trust. The project focusses on life skills development and resilient coping within adolescent footballers at a grassroots level, working with clubs but also with coaches. The aim is to develop a coaching education programme that will educate coaches within the Welsh Football Trust to then be able to go out and integrate the life skill and resilient coping development within their coaching.

The programme, that has been developed, focuses on the education of coaches, raising awareness around life skills, along with how they can be used in a practical coaching environment.
