This article describes how the Team of Life narrative methodology enables adolescents living in foster homes and homes of judicial measures to talk about what is important for them, what they protect, held onto, despite the moments of difficulty they have experienced. On many occasions, belonging to families catalogued by the administration as destructured or coming from families with the status of refugees or immigrants without resources, makes the identity of these children is affected in some way. With narrative therapy as a basis for the development of the Team of Life, makes it possible to talk about their identities in a collective way to celebrate “goals” that their teams have already achieved. At the same time, future plans for life can be made after the emancipation of the foster homes. Finally, using sporting metaphors often resonate with the masculine culture of the young men and allow us to work with an alternative vision to the masculinity that is offered from our Western Culture.
