This podcast discusses how PYD finally has a model that is sport-based that was developed through a meta study that Dr. Holt explains.

Dr. Nick Holt is a Professor and Associate Dean (Research) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.

He leads the Child & Adolescent Sport & Activity (CASA) lab. Their research examines psychosocial aspects of sport and physical activity participation among children, adolescents, and their families.

Dr Holt also works on the Positive Youth Development (PYD) Through Sport: PYD SportNET Project

Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), this project involves creating a network of evidence-based resources designed to promote PYD in Canadian sport. Twitter @PYDsportNET
