Abstract

As a result of the current social, cultural, and political social change of the last decades of the 20th century and the beginning of the new century, it is necessary to guarantee the acquisition and development of specific life skills. In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduces the so-called life skills and LifeComp, that is, the set of social, cognitive, and personal skills. Through motor and sports education, it is possible to structure paths of personal and social growth, considering the development of life skills. This paper analyzes the link between the development of life skills and LifeComp and the motor and sports activities planned in a structured manner, with a particular focus on the teaching methods of field hockey and team sport, which are particularly suited to the development of the psychosocial skills of younger people.
