Sports Intervention / Therapy is well structured and intentionally designed for problem solving.
It is used for disputing harmful beliefs, for healing, for rehabilitation, and for setting a leadership direction.
This is contained in the aspect of sports as Anthropologico – Metaphysico — sports as a study of man, meaning, and existence. Although it is also used for the lubrication of solidarity and the promotion of the Rule of Law, and then the Socio-Economico aspect of sports — improving the fortunes of individuals and society with great economic benefits.
Sports are also used as fun by many.
But as a professional Coach, Educator, and Olympic Sports Administrator and Manager, I implement measures on Sports Interventions and Therapy around Olympic Sports Education and Values.
Our Sports Intervention / Therapy is more than the usual sports. It is not concerned with only the development of physical strength.
It is sports combined with the SEL + REBT framework for crucial benefits and behavioural outcomes such as:
✅ Discipline and self-control
✅ Behaviour modification
✅ Disputation of harmful beliefs
✅ Social-Emotional Intelligence
✅ Critical thinking and choice-making
✅ Goal setting
✅ Taking responsibility
✅ Resilience building
✅ Turning adversities into purpose
✅ Respect, leadership, confidence, and healthy lifestyle
Though it has some fun, it is not about fun. It is about existence. It is about life. It contains elements of life-changing opportunities and fresh start.
By this, it means that Sports Intervention and Therapy is not measuring the value of sports only through medals and victories attained through sports competitions.
Our greatest achievement in the Sports Intervention / Therapy framework is the development of better human beings — who, though they may face all the struggles and limitations of life, have the mental clarity to turn them into purpose and impact.
Better human beings + good character, achieved through better understanding and mastery of self.
