However, positive youth development through sport does not happen automatically, by mere sport participation. An optimal context must be purposefully facilitated by the adults (e.g., coaches, mentors, and parents) who are closely involved and play an essential role in children and adolescents’ athletic and personal development. A psychosocial lens will be used to discuss critical issues in youth sport participation beyond performance outcomes, including motivational climates, parent-coach-athlete relationships, physical and emotional abuse, and parenting and coaching education. Interventions to promote long-term positive youth development through sport and life skills development will be presented.
