1/4 Super webinar w @BDPerry on role of sport in helping our students feel calm so they can learn. Sound bites;
Sport is already structured to deliver relational dosing in a way that’s superior to current MH model
Resilience isn’t something you learn, rather you experience it

2/4
Sport offers predictable moderate stressors - building resilience which is then transferable to other situations.
Words are powerful only when person is emotionally connected
Society over values cognition & under values movement

3/4
how we deal w stress is fundamentally integrated w how we move our bodies -
patterned repetitive rhythmic movement (like that assoc w sport) helps de-escalate which is essential to learn social & cognitive concepts

4/4
Schools pay €€ for social emotional programmes while existing sports, arts (music, drama & dance) programmes could be transformative in developing social & emotional skills w light touch training. @CityofDublinETB
