60 000 €
Background:
In the ever-evolving digital age, the ability to adapt, innovate, and utilize digital tools effectively is paramount across various industries, including the realm of sports. Recognizing this, DigiLead was born out of a profound understanding of the importance of digital literacy, particularly for those in the sports sector.
DigiLead fosters a future where sports and technology coalesce harmoniously, enhancing not just performance but also growth and success within the sector. By promoting digital transformation and enhancing digital skills for adults, DigiLead aims to embolden individuals to confidently navigate the digital landscape and embrace innovation.
At its core, the project is devoted to upskilling adult sports coaches and instructors, thereby fostering diversity and inclusion within the industry. It operates on the belief that for the sports industry to remain relevant and competitive, the individuals driving it forward must possess a solid understanding of, and competence in, digital technology.
To ensure a broad and impactful reach, DigiLead targets a diverse set of beneficiaries. Its primary target is the adult sports coaches and instructors who will directly benefit from improving their digital literacy, competencies, and skills in sports coaching. However, it also caters to a wider audience including sports professionals and managers, such as sports team coaches, fitness center managers, life coaches, sports administrators, gym instructors, and wellness directors. The knowledge and skills these individuals gain in digital technologies and their applications in sports will significantly elevate their capability in their respective roles.
Furthermore, DigiLead provides valuable insights to sports tech companies. By understanding the needs and requirements of sports coaches and instructors, these companies can refine their product offerings and serve the sports industry more efficiently and effectively.
