Delivering sports sessions with a mindful approach
About SportsfulMinds
Hi, I’m Stevie Doolan, the proud director of SportsfulMinds.
My journey in teaching PE began at just 18, through an apprenticeship that sparked my passion for coaching. Over the years, I’ve honed a unique coaching philosophy that goes beyond the physical – emphasising the vital mental and emotional benefits of PE. I firmly believe that when sports are delivered with mindfulness and care, children engage more meaningfully, creating a foundation for lifelong wellness. By fostering an inclusive, calm, and welcoming environment, we make sports less intimidating and more irresistible for kids of all abilities.
The idea for SportsfulMinds was born when I realized this mindful approach resonated not just with me but also with fellow coaches, educators, and parents. Together, we’re championing the belief that sports can empower children holistically – nurturing their bodies, minds, and confidence.
Currently, we’re running activity camps and afterschool clubs at Harbour Primary School in Newhaven, a place close to my heart as their full-time PE coach. These camps are designed to offer an inclusive, fun-filled environment where kids aged 5-11 can explore a variety of sports and mindful activities. While the sports change daily, our thoughtful and supportive approach stays the same. Our dedicated coaches are here to ensure every child feels supported, engaged, and excited to participate.
If you’re curious about whether our camps are the right fit for your child, or if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at stvdlncoaching@outlook.com. I’d be happy to help!
