We train coaches emotional intelligence leadership skills
so that female athletes thrive in sport and in life.
94% of female executives played sports, yet girls drop out of sports at a rate that is 2-3 times greater than boys.
HOW CAN WE KEEP GIRLS PLAYING SO THAT THEY CAN RECEIVE THE BENEFITS OF SPORTS AND ULTIMATELY BECOME OUR FUTURE LEADERS?
Research shows that the relationships between athletes and their teammates and athletes and their coaches can impact whether or not a girl will keep playing. That’s where eiFOCUS® comes in. We train athletes and coaches to be able to identify their emotions and understand how their emotions affect their performance and their relationships with their team. By strengthening performance on the playing field and strengthening key relationships between athletes and between athletes and coaches, girls become confident, inspired and motivated to keep playing.

What is eiFOCUS®?
Emotional Intelligence
It takes more than just technical skills and expertise to be a high performing coach. It takes being able to identify and understand how your emotions affect your performance and your relationships. Emotional intelligence is the ability to be aware of your own emotions, to be conscious of the emotions of your team, and to manage those emotions effectively in relationships-especially when those relationships become difficult.
And it doesn’t mean you are any less competitive. At eiFOCUS®, we believe that coaches can work towards an even bigger win with SWEAT, success with empathy and trust®.
eiFOCUS® trains emotional intelligence so that you can model leadership and create champions in sport and in life.
