Athlete Development
Athletic excellence can emerge at a young age, and thus developmental considerations are extremely important in the design and implementation of youth sport programs as exemplified by Canada’s Sport for Life program. Sports can be protective for mental health, but can also compromise mental health if the athlete experience is negatively influenced by sport-related factors.
