ABOUT FOOT-IQ
An educational initiative using sport as a tool to support youth development beyond the game.
FOOT-IQ was created to help young people grow as confident, thoughtful, and engaged individuals through intentional learning experiences
WHY FOOT-IQ EXISTS
Why FOOT-IQ Was Created
FOOT-IQ was created in response to a recurring observation:
many young people participate in sports, yet few programs intentionally support the development of leadership, communication, and decision-making skills.
These human skills are often expected to develop naturally.
In reality, they require structure, guidance, and reflection.
FOOT-IQ exists to intentionally create learning environments where youth can develop these skills through experience.
OUR MISSION

Our mission is to support youth development by creating structured, educational experiences that help young people:
