This research project aims to provide insights into: the role sports/physical activity has for the self-confidence and self-esteem of children and young people.
This research project is to support the Re-Kicks initiative, a nationwide campaign from Cif. The main objective of the research is to provide insights for the project, which will collect and clean second-hand football boots, re-distributing them to the young people across the UK who need them most.
Sported's insight and research team were commissioned to deliver insights on three key research questions:
1. Role of sport/physical activity on confidence and self-esteem of young people
2. Significance of kit on participation
3. Challenges communities face with cost of new kit, particularly football boots
