This study aims to investigate and analyze how coaches of Brazilian social projects think and act when teaching life skills to young people who live in areas of social risk. We interviewed six coaches of both football and other sports about different types of educational projects delivered through sport education. A qualitative analysis was developed through the identification of meaning units resulting in the creation of four large dimensions: Teamwork, Discipline, Performance and Bonding, and Integral Education, composing of 28 categories which reflect the philosophies and practices of these educators. The results show that all coaches that participated in this study have a similar profile "coaching life skills model" Gould, Collins, Lauer and Chung (2007) using strategies for teaching life skills, such as fostering autonomy, stimulate the effort and give feedback, but lack a systematic approach and has weak resources to carry out this model.

Este estudio busca investigar y analizar cómo piensan y actuan entrenadores de proyectos sociales brasileños con respecto a la enseñanza de competencias de vida a jóvenes que viven en áreas de riesgo de exclusión social. Entrevistamos a seis entrenadores de fútbol y otros deportes de distintas clases de proyectos de educación por el deporte. Se implementó un análisis cualitativo identificando y organizando meaning units, que resultó en la creación de cuatro grandes dimensiones: Trabajo en Equipo, Disciplina, Actuación y Vínculo, y Educación Integral; formadas por 28 categorías que reflejan las filosofías y prácticas de los educadores. Los resultados indican que todos los entrenadores entrevistados tienen un perfil análogo al modelo de entrenamiento de competencias de vida de Gould, Collins, Lauer y Chung (2007) que utilizan estrategias para la enseñanza de competencias de vida, como por ejemplo fomentar la autonomía, estimular el esfuerzo y dar feedback, aunque carecen de un planteamiento sistemático y tienen recursos precarios para llevar a cabo dicho modelo.
