The Determinants of Performance and Participation in Sport
10:30 - 11:15Jean Côté is a Canadian author who recently developed a conceptual model that incorporates the elements necessary for a developmentally sound approach to sport involvement; the Personal Assets Framework. The Personal Assets Framework includes three determinants that interact to create positive experiences in sport: 1) taking part in activities, 2) while entertaining relationships with others, 3) in a specific setting. Research that links the three basic elements of sport (activities, relationships, and settings) to positive changes in personal assets and long-term outcomes of athletes will be discussed in this presentation. Furthermore, practical implications will be offered to enhance the design of sport programs that are developmentally appropriate.Driving PerformancePlenary
