As coaches, we understand that all youth are unique in their own way and have different strengths and styles. What we do is to facilitate them to discover this.

One example is in the area of learning styles. Coaches aren't teachers who are going to teach youths how to solve Maths equations. Neither are they parents who are going to advise youths to study harder. But coaches can certainly work with youths to discover what learning style(s) work best for them, and put it to practice!

A well-known model of learning styles is VARK. Developed in 1987 by Neil Fleming, it identifies learning styles and explains how learners with different learning styles process and retain information differently.

Youth may not have just one learning style, but a combination of 2 or more! A youth who isn't doing well academically may simply not be applying the learning style(s) that work best for him/her.

Take the free questionnaire here and discuss with one of our coaches to figure out what works best for you in terms of boosting your concentration and absorbing what you learn in school.
