• SSHRC Awarded PDG 2015: Merely participating in youth sport does not systematically lead to positive developmental outcomes. Research shows it is necessary to intentionally target social contextual factors --such as organizational structure, coaches, parents, and peer interactions-- to promote positive developmental outcomes. This project aims to promote Positive Youth Development (PYD) through sport by improving (a) the exchange of knowledge between researchers and the sport community, and (b) the use of research knowledge among members of the sport community.
