Background: Interpersonal conflicts occur in any kind of social relation, including the
field of sports. Proper emotional management can improve athletes’ well-being, coexistence, and
performance. This study presents the initial results of the gamified emotional education program
Happy Sport in a sample of athletes in the field of non-formal education. Methods: The study sample
consists of 194 athletes from the benjamín and alevín categories (3rd- to 6th-grade primary school
children). A quasi-experimental pre-intervention and post-intervention design with a control group
is followed using the Games and Emotions Scale (GES), Social Support Scale, Emotion Regulation
Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA), and Bullying in Sports Questionnaire. Results:
Statistically significant differences were found across participants in the experimental group between
the pre- and post-intervention evaluations for the variables satisfaction and bullying. An analysis of
the competencies related to emotion regulation revealed significant results for the experimental group
for both scales (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression). Conclusions: The results show
that after a training session with the gamified software Happy Sport, children’s satisfaction increased
and bullying levels decreased. Changes in cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression may
also be explained by the training received.
