About Jon Eilbeck

Introduction. Uthfitt is on a mission to support and develop the youth of today for tomorrow. My programme empowers youth development by promoting the seven strands of total fitness through my mobile physical activity sessions. The mission is to be the future vision in youth development by being inclusive; we are breaking down barriers, obstacles and raising awareness through passion and belief. Being youth centered and unique allows me to raise awareness and understanding in relation to physical activity, mental health, autism and nutrition in youth development. My passion comes from 20yrs working in the safeguarding, child protection arena and offender management that has highlighted the connection between the environment, experiences and influences that can cause trauma. Why I am trauma informed, trauma aware and trauma focused. I have a working knowledge of Adverse Child Experiences that is known as ACEs. I use child psychology to understand the development and changes that youth undertake while growing into adulthood. I also look at mental health and autism awareness and have the understanding how this can have a negative impact on youth development due to lack of understanding and awareness. My programme has three concepts- 1) Armour- to look at emotional awareness, social network and changes in environment. 2) Body Armour- to support physical development as we understand the physiological and anatomical changes during youth development. This will assist with fundamental skills and also become less injury prone. 3) Under our Armour- to promote well-being by looking at nutrition and talking about mental health awareness. Being a health related fitness coach in youth development allows me to look at the emerging trends.* Current child health issues ( Obesity etc).* Increase in youth mental health and the potential causes.( Impact of stress etc ).* The increase in youth sport injuries. STRONG Programme. Sport, Trauma, Reduction, Overuse, Nutrition, Group.* The cost of the above concerns to the NHS and looking at intervention and prevention methods. My aim is to give confidence to each participant so that they can set goals and achieve them. The programme builds their communication skills, being part of a team, raises awareness of the mental health umbrella, environments and individuals that can influence them in a positive and negative way.
