Positive Youth Development Through Sport
Hardback Edition: 1
This book brings together high profile contributors from diverse disciplines to critically examine the ways in which sport can be and has been used to promote youth development. Young people are too frequently looked upon as problems waiting to be solved. From the perspective of
Positive Youth Development (PYD), young people are understood to embody potential, awaiting development. Involvement with sport provides a developmental context that has been associated with PYD, but negative outcomes can also arise from sport participation and school PE. Sport itself does not lead to PYD; rather, it is the manner in which sport is structured and delivered to children that influences their development. The first text to provide a sophisticated reflection on the subject, it explores research and practice relating to the structure and delivery of youth sport in order to shed further light on its use in a developmental context to promote PYD.
