4. Certified KiDS™ Multi-Sport Coach

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently conducted a research study and found that 4 out of 5 youths of the world today are not physically active enough. There are also other studies that show that kids who are physically active in their early years are more likely to be physically active when they become adults. Both these major research findings have got major long-term health implications for the whole world!
