Instilling Emotional Skills in Future Teachers of Physical Education

This study investigated a training experience in emotional awareness through motor games. Ninety-nine degree students in physical activity and sport sciences at INEFC (University of Lleida, Spain) participated in this experience. They received initial training in emotional education and, in the sessions, after each game, the students recorded the perceived emotional intensity. Subsequently, they conducted a self-report of their data and assessed the training received. The results of the analysis of 296 comments confirm that the proposed skills are appropriate for their training in emotional awareness. The learning of these skills is identified as useful for their future professional practice as well as for their personal improvement.
