Om forelesningen: A Holistic Ecological Approach to Youth Sport Environments: How to explore them and give voice to the adolescents?

In this presentation Line will outline the design of her PhD study, with a focus on how to explore youth sport environments and how to give voice to the young people involved in sports. Recently, athlete development was described as a journey through various sporting and non-sporting environments that support the athlete’s pursuit of career excellence (Henriksen et al., 2023). However, research has only looked at a tiny part of this long journey (the talent development years between the ages of 16 and 20). This calls for attention to the other environments that form part of an athlete’s journey, including the youth sport environments that come before (between ages of 12-16). The PhD study is designed as a case study, but with the ambition to explore younger adolescents’ environments comes unique methodological requirements occurs. These will be discussed.
