HERO COACHES: At HERO Kids Sports, our coaching team goes beyond traditional instruction; they are the heartbeat of our vibrant community. We prioritize a culturally inclusive, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) rich environment for all youth, with our coaches playing a pivotal role in creating it. Not only are they skilled in teaching sports, but they are also FUN, inviting, comedian-like, theatrical, and humorous.

 

We go beyond conventional coaching methods by ensuring that our coaches bring an extra layer of excitement to each session. Their charismatic and engaging approach creates an inspiring environment not only for the kids but for all families who have registered for HERO Kids Sports. We believe that a positive and uplifting atmosphere is key to fostering a love for sports and building a strong community.

 

Our approach involves hiring, training, developing, and supporting our staff in a way that goes beyond the ordinary.

The Science Behind It All

Neurological benefits of an active lifestyle
 HERO Kids Sports

The Evidence

 

The evidence supporting the neurocognitive benefits of an active lifestyle in childhood is well established. The research demonstrates that aerobic exercise positively affects areas of the brain that are responsible for thinking, memory, and problem-solving. Scientists investigating this relationship in children found behavioral differences in higher versus lower aerobically fit children for tasks measuring these brain abilities.

The Brain

 

We now know the brain responds to positive and negative experiences. The implications of this research are that when children actively learn how to navigate down a soccer field or chase a fly ball they are building their brain’s memory capacity to learn efficiently and quickly. The actions of supportive parents, teachers, and coaches make the retrieval and consolidation of information and memories a more fluid, safe, and efficient process.

The Algorithm


Exercise + Learning Skills + Supportive Coaches =  
Better Problem Solving, Improved Memory, and Efficient Learning.
