Details

In order to be in top physical shape for competitive sports such as synchronized skating, athletes need to develop their technical skills while also caring for their mental health and nutritional needs. We would like to work with students to create free support resources for athletes and coaches - including but not limited to synchronized skaters, coaches, and parents. We would like these resources to focus on areas such as: Eating Disorders and healthy eating, and/or Sport Psychology and mental health.

Deliverables

Based on the knowledge and education/study area of the applicant, there will be three steps to this project; 1) create a project plan with time-based outcomes, 2) compile research from course material, school professors, and/or local experts, and 3) package information into sharable resources.

Mentorship

You will work with the executive director to complete your project. If desired, we can provide you with a professional email address with access to google drive and Canva pro.

OneTeamMVMT is a non-profit organization (NPO) that creates opportunities for youth development and lifelong engagement in sport, through opportunities which promote athleticism, artistry, and inclusivity – such as the team discipline of synchronized skating. Synchronized skating is a co-ed sport which is comprised of 90% females, and provides an outlet for individuals to stay engaged in sport for life. This sport plays an important role in keeping females engaged in healthy, active living, by providing access to a team activity that combines artistry and athleticism. Female-dominant sports are particularly in need of support; according to Canadian Women and Sport, 1-in-3 females leave sport by their late teens, compared to 1-in-10 males. According to CAAWS, if a girl isn’t participating in sport by the age of 10 there is only a 10% chance of them being physically active at age 25.
Our NPO successfully proliferates the sport of synchronized skating through our year-round initiatives.
