The Impact of Exercise and Positive Youth Development on Adolescent overall Well being

This webinar will cover the impact of exercise on young people, discussing the perceived benefits of regular exercise in adolescents/post-adolescents. We will discuss in detail the impact a Positive Youth Development(PYD) structure, i.e. sport and education, has shown benefits to young people’s well-being, self-esteem, and self-image.

It will also focus on the creation and development of high-quality, strong relationships with positive role models and peers through a structured course, giving young people a chance to feel part of a group, developing confidence, and opening up originally blocked pathways through a PYD environment.

Through a holistic structure that focuses on education, sport, and mental well-being, we see positive results in an education setting where some may have struggled in mainstream education.
