The New Science of Sport-based Youth Development: A Global Perspective

Sports provide a powerful tool for positive youth development. When organized with overall development as the goal sports can be healthy for children.  However, it is how we harness this potentially powerful rite of passage that will determine the educational value of sports in the lives of our children. In this workshop, Dr. Beedy will introduce his Global Positive Learning Using Sports Model and talk about the new science of sport-based youth development as well as his work with global organizations such as PeacePlayers International in Cyprus and New Orleans.
