This book highlights the different roles of youth sport, from sport
for all and community sport activities to elite sport and
international competitions, to suggest significant new directions
for youth sport research and practices. The collection addresses a
range of prominent management and policy issues associated with the
growing interest in research into youth sport. Major youth sport
events such as the Youth Olympic Games and the European Youth
Olympic Festival are included in this collection as important
policy arenas. In addition, the collection addresses a series of
under-researched topics including the welfare of young elite
athletes, the process of talent identification and development in
elite youth disability sport and how young athletes cope with
emotional abuse. The contributors to this collection are drawn from
a wide range of countries Canada, the United States, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Norway. The book ends with an
overview of the state of research into sport-based youth
development and highlights trends and gaps in the literature
suitable for further research. The chapters were originally
published as a special issue in Sport in Society.
