§ The everyday “activities” of sport (e.g., practice, games, play).2. Quality Social Dynamics
§ Relationships: The interactions that coaches, parents, peers engage in with youth in sport.§ Social environment: Composition of the social context (e.g., norms, culture, motivational
climate, social identity, cohesion, role models, community ties). 3. Appropriate Settings
§ The physical environment in which the activities are happening (e.g., field, arena, club, city).4. Time
§ Changes occurring over time (e.g., age and development).

Key Messages:§ Diversity between sports: Exploration of different sports should precede
specialization in one sport
§ Diversity within sport: Different types of play and practice, youth-led and adult-led, activities should be promoted during childhood

Quality Social Dynamics1. Relationships
§ The interactions that coaches, parents, peers engage in with youth in sport
2. Social environment§ Composition of the social context (e.g. norms, culture,

Quality Social Dynamics: Relationships§ Coach – Athletes§ Coach – Parents§ Parents – Athletes§ Athletes – Athletes§ Etc…
Coach-Athlete Relationships
§ Professional knowledge/behaviours provides the critical foundation for
fostering athlete development, but is insufficient for optimal development
§ It’s not just about what coaches do, it’s how they do it:
§ Motivational and emotional tone
§ Content and structure of behaviors (consistency, patterns)
§ Recipient of behaviours
(Allan & Côté, 2016; Côté, Turnnidge, & Evans, 2014; Erickson & Côté, 2015; Erickson & Côté, 2016; Côté et al., 2011; Imtiaz et al.,2016; Turnnidge et al., 2014; Turnnidge et al., 2012; Turnnidge & Côté, 2016; Turnnidge & Côté in preparation; Vierimaa et al., 2012)
Coach-Athlete Relationships§ Emotional intelligence (e.g., Salovey & Mayer, 2001)
§ Autonomy-supportive coaching (e.g., Mageau & Vallerand, 2003)
§ Empowering coaching (e.g., Duda, 2013)
§ Mastery-oriented coaching (e.g., Smith, Smoll, & Cumming, 2007)
§ Leadership perspective (e.g., Bass & Riggio, 2006)
Leadership Perspective§ Focus on coaches’ interpersonal behaviours and aligns with the aims of
positive youth development
§ Process whereby leaders develop followers into future leaders (Avolio, 1999; Barling, 2014; Bass & Riggio, 2006)
§ Extensive body of literature demonstrating:
§ Transformational Leadership (TFL) is linked with positive outcomes across contexts (Barling, 2014; Bass & Riggio, 2006; Turnnidge & Côté, 2016)
§ TFL can be developed through education programs (Barling et al., 1996; Beauchamp et al., 2014; Vella, Oades, & Crowe, 2013)

(Bass & Riggio, 2006)
§ Process whereby coaches develop athletes into leaders by focusing on
athletes’ personal assets (e.g., Competence, Confidence, Connection, and
Character)
§ Involves behaviours that are designed to empower, inspire, and challenge
athletes in order to foster their sport-specific outcomes (e.g., Performance
and Participation and Personal Development)
(Avolio, 1999; Bass, 1997; Callow et al., 2009; Charbonneau et al., 2001; Vella, 2011)

Comprised of 4 dimensions:
1. Idealized Influence
2. Inspirational Motivation
3. Intellectual Stimulation
4. Individualized Consideration

Transformational Leadership
§ Athletic performance (Charbonneau et al., 2001)
§ Group cohesion (Callow et al., 2009)
§ Personal development (Vella et al., 2013)
§ Lower levels of aggression (Tucker et al., 2010)
§ Intrinsic motivation and charisma (Charbonneau et al., 2001)

5. Summary and Conclusion

“social dynamics,” to maximize:
§ The development of personal assets (4 Cs)
§ The long-term outcomes of performance, participation, and personal
development

The Personal Assets Framework for Sport
(Côté, Turnnidge, & Evans, 2014)
Personal Engagement in Activities§ The physical/task determinants of performance, participation, and personal
development during childhood and early adolescence:
1. Facilitating diversity between sports: exploration of different sports
should precede specialization in one sport
2. Promoting play activities (diversity within sport): ample opportunities
for play should precede large amount of structured practice.
Quality Social Dynamics§ The relational and social determinants of performance, participation, and
personal development during childhood and early adolescence:
§ Relational: Employing transformational coaching behaviors that are designed to
empower, inspire, and challenge athletes (the 4 I’s and 11 transformational
coaching behaviors).
§ Social environment: Implementing the TFL behaviors and 8 setting features of
the U.S National Research Council (2002).
Appropriate Settings§ The physical environment determinants of performance, participation, and
personal development during childhood and early adolescence:
1. Size: Reducing number of athletes on teams, clubs, communities…
2. Density: Increasing number of spots available, number of coaches…
3. Proximity: Decreasing time and distance to recreational and sport facilities…
