About

The Self Regulation project is an initiative from 4 partners in the European Hockey and Basketball family who, with help of a renowned sport psychologist, are looking to offer sport coaches practical tools to empower young players to take control of there own destiny.

Erasmus+ project

Though the program is initiated by the hockey family, the final leadership program will be accessible for all other sports. Funding and support by the Erasmus|+ Sports program enables us to realize our dream of putting a high level sports leadership program together

Deliverables

of the project

Sound human, financial and administrative management entails the operational, administrative and financial coordination of the whole SELF project. It aims to ensure an effective and efficient use of the project’s human and financial resources.

The landscape analysis will feature a description of existing consensuses in the area of self-regulation in sports in Europe.
The self-regulation toolkit for trainers and players will describe a practical model and approach how to implement self-regulation among young players making it second nature for them to apply to enhance their development
The grassroot onboarding manual for youth trainers describes how the toolkit can be used most effectively an provides guidance on how to make this an integral part of the training and game plans.
The digital resource and development platform will feature a single point of contact place where trainers can find the toolkit components as well as the trainer manual explaining them how to implement self-regulated learning in their daily lives

A dissemination plan describing how we will ensure that all outputs created and learnings from the project will be actively shared among all trainers/coaches inspiring the embedment of self-regulation in clubs among youngsters.
A European SELF dissemination seminar (multiplier event) where the project outputs will be shared with all interested federations/clubs/trainers/coaches and other stakeholders
An insight & legacy plan outlining the insights from the project and the activities which will take place after the project officially ends. The plan will define the roles & responsibilities of the partners (and others involved) to ensure sustainable embedment of all the project outputs. The involvement of the non- official umbrella partners (the European Hockey Federation and the Danish Basketball Federation) who endorse this programme will support this ambition

SELF

Regulation

Gino Schilders came up with the idea about this initiative. “I know self regulation as a powerful tool to create ownerships about players but I was not happy with the way I worked with it with my team and so came with the idea to create more hands-on tools for coaches and trainers to apply these skills. I truly believe that long term intrinsic motivation is the only way to long term success and it should be in everybody’s interest to work with these principles to let our children flourish, both in sports as well as in their private lives”

Team

The team is composed of members from 10 european organizations, where most of them are directly connect to field hockey.
