La leadership trasformativa dell’allenatore per potenziare le competenze STEAM di autonomia e problem solving

“Mens sana in corpore sano”—already in Ancient Roman times, mental and social well-being were directly linked to physical well-being. In modern times, it has been scientifically proven that individuals active in sports report high levels of self-esteem and low levels of anxiety, which improve their academic performance. Certainly, regular sports activity, practiced in a context of positive competition, can develop not only technical-specific skills but also transversal skills applicable to everyday life. Sports institutions can act as facilitators and multipliers of the quality of STEAM learning, promoting autonomy and problem-solving through training and sports competition. However, for this to happen, it is essential to educate coaches about the pedagogical and educational importance of their leadership. Data from research on coaches' leadership in the world of Rugby will be presented.
