“…Specifically focussing on youth athletes, sought to explain the interactions underpinning positive development by proposing the Personal Assets Framework (PAF; see Figure 1) which comprises three inter-related underpinning mechanisms; Appropriate Settings, Quality Social Dynamics, and Personal Engagement in Activities. The PAF has been subsequently updated and amended (see Côté et al, 2022;Côté et al, 2020;Côté et al, 2016). Whilst a promising tool for conceptualizing development in youth sport, the framework requires further empirical investigation and support (Holt et al, 2017).…”

“…The PAF (Côté et al, 2022;Côté et al, 2020) seeks to help leaders within youth sport development systems better understand the interacting mechanisms influencing athlete development for the immediate (i.e., real time), short-term (e.g., single season) and long-term (e.g., multiple seasons) benefit of the participants. The short-term benefits are characterized by the four Cs (i.e., personal assets) of athletes' competence, confidence, connection, and character (see Figure 1).…”

The personal assets framework offers a lens to better understand the relationship between leadership in sport environments and the resultant (athlete) developmental outcomes. This investigation aimed to explore how leadership behaviors and the broader environment of a Super League netball club represented an effective context for athletes to flourish by exploring the interrelations between the personal assets framework’s dynamic elements, namely (a) quality social dynamics, (b) appropriate settings, and (c) personal engagement in activities. Twenty-eight stakeholders were interviewed either individually or in small groups. The results revealed that the environment constructed was shaped by many interrelated mechanisms, and all stakeholders influenced how the dynamic elements intersected with one another. Key leadership behaviors driving the positive environment of the club were related to individualization and generating perceptions of value. The stakeholders’ desire to understand the relationship between their individual contribution and Super League netball was also crucial.

With the pronounced ongoing growth of global youth sports, opportunities for and participation of youth athletes on the world sports stage, including the Olympic Games, are expected to escalate. Yet, adolescence is a vulnerable period of development and inherently dynamic, with non-linear and asynchronous progression of physical, physiological, psychological and social attributes. These non-concurrent changes within and between individuals are accompanied by irregular and unpredictable threats and impediments. Likewise, the evident age-based criteria and conventional path for those youth athletes deemed eligible candidates for the Olympic Games are not well or consistently defined. Furthermore, the unstructured and largely varying policies and practices across the sporting International Federations specific to youth participation underscore the need to establish a contemporary universal paradigm that would enable elite youth athletes to navigate an individualised healthy pathway to personal, athletic and sport success. First, we reviewed and summarised key challenges facing elite youth athletes and the relevant evidence fundamental to facilitating and supporting central aspects of health and well-being, while empowering safe, sustainable and positive engagement during athletic and personal advancement and competition. Second, we developed and present a modern elite youth athlete model that emphasises a child-centred, practical framework with corresponding guidelines and recommendations to protect health and well-being while safely and favourably managing international sport competition. Our proposed evidence-informed paradigm will enable and support individualised pathways for healthy, well-rounded and sustainable positive engagement while achieving sport success for youth contending or aiming to compete at world-class international sporting events.
