Abstract
This article presents a global vision for sport through a
new framework that incorporates the elements necessary
for a developmentally sound approach to youth sport
involvement. This framework proposes that youth sport
involvement includes three basic elements: (1) taking
part in activities (what), while creating relationships
with others (who), in a specific setting (where). When
these three elements positively interact, it creates a
context that, when repeated on a regular basis, leads
to changes in the personal assets of the participants.
Changes in individuals’ personal assets, such as
Competence, Confidence, Connection, and Character
(4 C’s), have long been associated with positive sport
experiences, which in turn lead to long-term outcomes,
including continued sport Participation, higher levels
of Performance in sport, and Personal development
through sport (3 P’s). Research linking the three basic
elements of youth sport (activities, relationships, and
settings) to positive changes in personal assets (4 C’s)
and long-term outcomes (3 P’s) are discussed and the
Personal Assets Framework is presented
