Emotions

When students can recognize, understand, and manage their feelings, they’re better equipped to handle stress, resolve conflict, and stay focused in the classroom. At Classroom Champions, rather than ignoring or suppressing emotions, we teach students to acknowledge them and respond in healthy, productive ways.

Why Emotions?

Hear what our Athlete Mentors have to say...

Feel It, Own It, Grow from It

Emotions play a powerful role in how we navigate challenges, build relationships, and pursue our goals, which is why Classroom Champions dedicates a unit to understanding and managing them.Our Athlete Mentors openly share how they experience a full range of emotions — excitement, frustration, disappointment, and joy — and how learning to process these feelings has helped them perform at their best. Just like athletes, students face moments of pressure, setbacks, and victories, and developing emotional awareness equips them with the tools to stay resilient, focused, and confident. This unit helps students recognize that emotions aren’t something to fear or ignore, but rather to understand and use as fuel for personal growth and success.
