Our 6 Pillars of Success

WHY POUND WORKS*

It has been estimated that up to 1 out of 5 children in the United States experienced a mental disorder in a given year.

The POUND effect: By teaming music with movement in game and play environments, WE help students express their feelings and emotions, improve their socio-emotional skills and develop their self confidence.

Globally, as high as 81% of adolescents (11-17 yr) are not meeting the World Health Organization’s recommendations for physical activity.

The POUND effect: By promoting competence and confidence in fundamental movement skills and physical capacities, WE highlight the ability in every BODY, reinforcing respect for diverse body types and performance measures.

A dose-response relationship has been observed between exercise and the short-term effects on positive self-esteem in children and youth.

The POUND effect: By emphasizing enthusiasm and effort over accomplishments, competition and peer comparison, WE highlight inspire self-expression, acceptance and self-love.
