Project: No_Limits: Sports for Gifted Youth (No_Limits)

Objectives of the project:
OBJECTIVE1: To analyse the real problems faced by gifted children in relation to organized and informal physical-sport activities.
- To scientifically study the relationship between giftedness and sport. Specifically, level of sport participation, sports habits, family involvement in their sport, perceptions, opinions, and beliefs about physical activities and sports and, finally, good practices.
- To assess the knowledge that sports coaches have about young people with high intellectual abilities and their difficulties in practicing sports in a satisfactory way.

OBJECTIVE 2: To raise awareness of the benefits of sports for gifted children and young people.
- To design a specific workshop for coaches to train them in good practice with gifted players.
- Launch a pilot experience with a selection of sports clubs and associations to test the lessons learned from the training.
- Raise awareness of this unknown problem by launching a visibility campaign.
