Hello Insight:
Sports
For young people Ages 11 – 23
We can't adjust our strategy if we don't know the score.
Every season, we see the young people we coach and mentor come into their own on the field, the court, the rink. The skills that develop through being part of a sports-based youth development program can stay with a person forever.
Hello Insight: Sports measures the SEL capacities best nurtured by sports programs and asks young people to reflect on the quality of their experiences. With HI Sports, your program is well equipped to coach young people in becoming strong athletes and resilient adults.
Capacities
SEL is a continuous, ongoing process in young people that involves developing many skills and attributes that are closely related, but distinct enough to be measured on their own. We call these “capacities.” Hello Insight: Sports reports on key capacities that are particularly well nurtured by sports-based programming.

Experiences
Everything that young people see, think, hear, do and feel is fuel for SEL, but a few key types of experiences are especially effective at boosting SEL growth. We use advanced analytics to predict which of those experiences will best promote growth in each group of young people in your program.
Goal Management
Plan activities to give young people the chance to practice setting goals, breaking them down into smaller tasks, develop plans of action, and adjust them as necessary.
Peer-to-Peer Engagement
Encourage young people to work with and learn about others with differing backgrounds and perspectives. Promote teamwork, group cohesion, and problem solving.
Prioritizing Young People
Build meaningful relationships by prioritizing young people: set high expectations for them and invite them to share their unique experiences and passions with the program.
Interest Exploration
Provide opportunities for young people to explore potential interests, try new things, broaden their horizons, and take risks in a safe space.
Positive Coaching Relationship
A positive coaching relationship is one in which a young person feels known, valued, and encouraged to speak up, make decisions, and learn from their peers.
Sense of Belonging
A young person's subjective sense of belonging to a group or team can provide a context that promotes growth in SEL.
