Delivering sports sessions with a mindful approach
About Sportsfulminds
Hi my name is Stevie Doolan, I am the director of SportsfulMinds.
I began teaching PE when I was 18 years old. Through an apprenticeship scheme, I worked hard on my coaching philosophy. This became so important to my coaching and interactions with children. I believe that PE is so important for children’s development, not just for the physical benefits but also for the mental benefits. When sport is delivered mindfully by the coaches, it is taken part in mindfully by children. Creating an inclusive, calm and mindful environment during PE lessons and sport sessions makes sport less intimidating and therefor more enticing. SportfulsMinds began when I realised that this philosophy I had for coaching was similar to other coaches, teachers and most importantly parents.
We are currently running some activity camps at Harbour Primary School in Newhaven. I have strong ties to this school as I am the full time PE coach here. Our activity camps are an inclusive opportunity to take part in sports and mindful activities. The sports we offer differ from day to day but the approach taken to deliver them remains the same. I am confident that with the coaches we have, we are able to support any child providing they are between 5 - 11. However, if you have any queries about the suitability of our camps for your child, please do not hesitate to contact me privately on stvdlncoaching@outlook.com
