Vários estudos referem a importância do treinador de formação e academia no desenvolvimento pessoal e desportivo de crianças e jovens, sendo fundamental analisar as experiências e explorar os testemunhos destes profissionais para melhor compreender os seus desafios e perspetivas sobre as diferentes dimensões abrangidas pela sua ocupação. Com a presente investigação almeja-se contribuir para o conhecimento já acumulado no âmbito do projeto Safe Zone, através da análise de questionários aplicados a oito treinadores de crianças e jovens de um clube de futebol do distrito do Porto. Os resultados indicam que os treinadores reconhecem o seu papel como figuras com grande influência nos jovens atletas, bem como enquanto mediadores entre os diferentes contextos em que os mesmos estão inseridos. Os treinadores identificaram vários desafios inerentes à sua profissão e as especificidades do trabalho com crianças e jovens. Partilharam também as suas perspetivas quanto à influência dos contextos desportivos nas crianças e adolescentes. Por fim, os treinadores, refletiram sobre os efeitos da pandemia covid-19 nos contextos desportivos, nomeadamente nas atitudes, mindset, recursos e no bem-estar físico e mental dos treinadores e atletas.
