Skateboarding’s Role in Youth Development: New GOSKATE Research Studies Reveal Powerful Benefits
GOSKATE has released the first two studies in its 2025 research series, highlighting the powerful impact of skateboarding on youth development. The studies focus on skateboarding’s role in preventing substance abuse and promoting mental health. Findings show that skateboarding helps reduce substance use, with 78% of skaters reporting less stress and 85% managing anxiety through the sport. Additionally, skateboarding is shown to improve mental well-being, with 82% of skaters feeling calmer and 88% reporting improved mood. GOSKATE encourages skaters to contribute to ongoing research by sharing their experiences.
At GOSKATE, we are dedicated to providing the latest research and data surrounding skateboarding and its impact on youth culture. With the largest network of professional skate instructors and student skateboarders, we gather valuable insights directly from the skateboarding community, offering a unique perspective on the sport’s broader benefits. We’re proud to announce the release of a new series of research studies that highlight skateboarding’s positive effects on youth development, focusing on substance abuse prevention and mental health.
As part of our ongoing commitment to understanding the impact of skateboarding, GOSKATE is conducting a series of studies in 2025. The first two reports, released today, examine the significant benefits skateboarding offers in preventing substance abuse and supporting mental health, particularly for young people. These findings not only affirm the value of skateboarding but also provide a pathway for healthier communities.
Research Series Overview: Understanding Skateboarding’s Impact on Youth
GOSKATE’s 2025 research series will include multiple studies, each exploring different aspects of how skateboarding can support positive youth development. The first two studies dive into how skateboarding helps prevent youth substance abuse and promotes mental well-being.
First Study: Skateboarding as a Powerful Tool for Youth Substance Abuse Prevention
The first research study demonstrates how skateboarding can act as a strong deterrent to substance abuse among young people. As youth substance abuse continues to be a significant concern, finding alternative prevention methods is essential. Our study found that skateboarding provides a unique blend of physical activity, community engagement, and personal growth, all of which help protect youth from harmful behaviors such as drug and alcohol use.
Key findings include:
- 78% of skaters reported experiencing less peer pressure to engage in substance use compared to non-skaters.
- 85% said that skateboarding has become a positive outlet, giving them more structured time away from harmful influences.
- 70% indicated that the skateboarding community has offered them strong emotional support, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing the risk of substance abuse.
For a deeper look into how skateboarding supports youth substance abuse prevention, read the full research report on the GOSKATE website – GOSKATE Research Study: Skateboarding’s Impact on Youth Substance Abuse Prevention.
The Second Study: Skateboarding for Mental Health and Stress Relief
The second study focuses on the powerful mental health benefits of skateboarding, especially in relation to managing stress, anxiety, and overall emotional well-being. Many skaters, such as GOSKATE instructor Alex Martinez, have shared that skateboarding has provided them with a healthy alternative to negative coping mechanisms, offering a way to clear their minds and reduce stress.
Quantitative findings from this study include:
- 82% of skaters said that skateboarding helps them feel calmer and less stressed.
- 88% stated that skateboarding significantly improves their mood, helping them manage symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- 74% believe that skateboarding promotes mental clarity and focus, helping them make better life choices and avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The combination of physical activity and personal achievement is key in lifting mood and reducing anxiety. As a result, skateboarding becomes not only an enjoyable sport but also an effective tool for managing emotional well-being and supporting mental health.
To explore the full findings and dive deeper into how skateboarding benefits mental health, read the complete research report “GOSKATE STUDY: Skateboarding as a Catalyst for Social and Community Engagement”.

Digital Finance Academy to Launch Global Talent Hubs in Strategic University Partnerships
Digital Finance Academy to Launch Global Talent Hubs in Strategic University Partnerships
Empowering the Next Generation of FinTech and AI Innovators
In an era where digital transformation is redefining the global financial ecosystem, the Digital Finance Academy (DFA) is taking bold strides to expand its impact beyond borders. Founded in 2019, DFA has been a pioneer in delivering forward-looking education in financial technology, consistently equipping professionals with the skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving FinTech space.
Now, DFA is announcing its global initiative to establish international talent development centers in partnership with leading universities worldwide. These centers will serve as powerful incubators for cultivating the next wave of FinTech and AI innovators—individuals who will not only understand finance but will also shape its future using advanced technologies.
A Vision Rooted in Innovation
DFA’s core philosophy, “Empowering the Future of Finance,” continues to guide its ambitious mission. With a robust curriculum that bridges classical financial knowledge and next-generation technologies—such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and automated trading—DFA is uniquely positioned to offer students and professionals a comprehensive, practical, and scalable learning experience.
The upcoming global expansion underscores DFA’s belief that the future of financial innovation depends on access to quality education and strong institutional alliances. By collaborating with top-tier academic institutions, DFA aims to integrate real-world FinTech practices into university-level programs, fostering a seamless pipeline of tech-savvy finance professionals.
Building Global Talent Hubs
Each DFA Talent Development Center will be strategically located within a partner university campus. These hubs will:
Train students in financial technologies, AI programming, and investment automation
Provide hands-on labs and simulators for trading and AI modeling
Host global FinTech competitions, research projects, and accelerator programs
Offer certifications jointly issued by DFA and the partnering institution
This model ensures students gain exposure to real-world challenges and cutting-edge tools, preparing them not just for employment, but for leadership and innovation within the digital economy.
Addressing a Critical Market Need
With digital assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), and algorithmic trading becoming mainstream, the financial industry faces an urgent demand for professionals who understand both technology and capital markets. DFA’s initiative directly addresses this talent gap by cultivating multidisciplinary experts capable of developing intelligent investment platforms, AI-driven advisory services, and robust FinTech infrastructures.
“The future of finance isn’t just digital—it’s intelligent,” says DFA’s Director of Global Partnerships. “We are creating a global network of thinkers, builders, and innovators who will lead the charge in investment technology and AI solutions.”
A Call to Academic and Industry Collaboration
DFA invites universities, governments, and financial institutions to join this mission of transforming financial education for the digital age. By fostering an ecosystem of learning, research, and entrepreneurship, the Academy aims to lay the groundwork for a smarter, more inclusive financial future.
As DFA gears up for this international rollout, the Academy is not just training students—it is shaping the architects of tomorrow’s financial systems.
