“…The results obtained are relevant, despite the fact that not all variables investigated yielded statistically significant results. In accordance with the literature it has been demonstrated that football offers particularly favourable conditions for the complex development of motor skills and qualities (Alesi et al, 2015;Erceg et al, 2008) as well as personality dimensions (Gould, & Carson, 2008). The complexity and diversity of the game systems requires the use of strategies to develop tactical thinking and other features that contribute to the ultimate goal of the game, namely scoring goals and winning matches.…”

There is a growing interest in extracurricular and out-of-school activities for pupils, given their positive effects on the development of individuals. In the present study we aimed to develop a training program for the game of football as an extracurricular activity that integrates both physical skills and personality traits in high school students. The research design assumed a pre-posttest design, with the dependent samples t-test used as the statistical method of investigation. The physical abilities tracked in the study were body mass index, body harmony, exercise endurance, fitness, body recovery after exercise and endurance running. As personality traits we looked at dominance, emotional stability, spontaneity, sensitivity, intelligence, conformity and discipline, sense of self, and refocusing on planning as a positive cognitive-emotional coping strategy. The results show that football, as an extracurricular activity, offers the possibility of harmonious physical and mental development of young people.

“…However, while the junior coaches perceived that they taught running and reading skills, unlike the club members, they shared limited experiences related to explicitly and intentionally incorporating a life skill focus. Researchers assert that using explicit approaches to teach life skills can enhance opportunities for youth to learn life skills and transfer these skills to other contexts (Bean & Forneris, 2016;Camiré et al, 2011;Gould & Carson, 2008). While further research is needed to explore why these discrepancies in participants' accounts were observed, an important practical implication is that training could be developed for youth leaders to help them learn and be aware of explicit approaches to teaching life skills, so that they can improve their positive influence on the youth that they lead.…”

“…In the larger field of PYD programming, researchers assert that program structure and the quality of youth-adult and youth-youth relationships have the greatest influence on youth developmental outcomes (Gould & Carson, 2008;Holt et al, 2017). As mentioned previously, youth leaders can range in age and be in various transitional stages of their lives; as such, youth leaders have the potential to negatively influence their younger peers.…”

Introduction: This study's purpose was to explore youth leaders' involvement and influence on younger program participants in a physical-activity-based positive youth development program (PA-PYD). Methods: A case study was conducted where 16 youth leaders (8 males, 8 females, M age = 13.37, SD = 1.36) and 15 program participants (8 males, 7 females, M age = 10.53, SD = 1.12) from four sites of a PA-PYD program in Canada participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews regarding their program experiences. A deductive-inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Results: Five themes were identified: (a) learning and building skills, (b) receiving support, (c) enjoyment, (d) relatability, and (e) challenges faced. Program participants shared several ways in which the youth leaders they interacted with had a positive influence on their personal experiences. The youth leaders' perceptions largely aligned with those of the program participants. Conclusions: This study provides insight into the value that youth leaders can bring to youth programming.Positive youth development (PYD) programming focuses on helping youth enhance their well-being and fulfill their potential through the development of life skills (e.g., decision-making, communication, confidence;Danish, Forneris, Hodge, & Heke, 2004;Lerner et al., 2013;Spencer & Spencer, 2014). These programs often target at-risk youth who may face barriers (e.g., from families living on low-income, living in resource-poor neighbourhoods, lack of access to transportation) in accessing resources for their health and well-being 1 (Keating, Tomishima, Foster, & Alessandri, 2002). Such barriers can lead to negative outcomes like disengagement, poor academic performance, low rates of physical activity, drug and alcohol abuse, poor emotional well-being, and high rates of delinquency (

“…Therefore, sport has been considered as a means that can support youth development in good terms [20]. A perception that attached to this definition is the skills learned in sports are considered as life skills, so it must be transfered and applied in daily life [21].…”
