Most of BMX trainers are former riders, but without a specific training. BMX, as many other lifestyle sports, is very appropriate to work as creative industries and to work under entrepreneurship models.
TRAINING TO WIN EU PROJECT
specific objectives
▪ Objective 1.- To design a BMX integral training program, for coaches and trainers, adding scientific evidence and studies.
▪ Objective 2.- To promote the benefits of BMX, for children and youth, physically, mentally and socially.
▪ Objective 3.- To stimulate dual careers for BMX riders, supporting their professional and educational development.
Achieving these ambitious objectives implies the scientific analysis of BMX from different perspectives, which would be reached by a multidisciplinary team involved in this project.
Three intellectual output would be delivered:
1.Survey to detect the training needs in BMX (targeted on coaches, trainers, sport clubs and federations).
2. Wide and integral studies; physical, psychological and social factors that improve or limit well-being and performance in BMX.
3. Results obtained in both IO would be the basis to construct a MOOC course on BMX training and development.
Three multiplier sport Events are planned:
- Training Safe Seminar.
- BMX Ecosystem Workshop.
- Minority Sports Professionalization Conference
