The project ELISA: Entrepreneurial Learning in Sport to support Young Athletes employability development aims to empower & inspire young athletes to engage with entrepreneurship during and after their career by activating their skills development with the use of the innovative tool of Serious Play.

Project seeks to enhance capacity building of young athletes and those working with them (coaches, educators, sports associations and clubs) in entrepreneurial skills to ease the dual career most of young athletes follow as according to the EU Guidelines on Dual Career of Athletes, being an athlete and an employee at the same time is a challenge. What is proposed in our project is the training of young athletes in entrepreneurial learning skills development in order to create the needed flexibility in employment which is essential to combining their sport and employment life and achieving the right balance. Entrepreneurship is what people do to take their career and dreams into their hands and lead it in the direction of their own choice, training athletes in developing their entrepreneurial skill will help them embark on a journey determined to bring their vision to fruition. Target groups are young athletes, educators, coaches, sports clubs & associations staff & professionals in the field of sport. Building capacities of our target groups on entrepreneurial learning to support young athletes’ careers as entrepreneurs is addressing rightly the need to facilitate dual career of athletes and provide the needed flexibility into their employment so we see a decrease on withdrawing rates from sports. Project products are: A Research on Entrepreneurship Skills Availability of young athletes, A Methodology Guide of Career Development and Psychometric Methods, E–Game for viable business models addressing challenges based on athletes dual career, a Course curriculum/Pilot Course Module, e. Infodays & Workshops, f. Capitalization activities, g.Final Conference.
