The Promise of Sport
Good sport can make a great difference. Sport can affect positive change in many ways within Canadian society and must begin to be seen as a valuable public asset – not unlike our public health care and public education systems. Evidence points to sport as a very rich source of key developmental assets* and when adolescents are exposed intentionally to the assets found in sport it can help to:
- Build health
- Reduce crime
- Foster character and citizenship
- Introduce newcomers to a new community
- Stimulate the local economy
- Provide adult mentorship to young people
- Teach kids important life lessons
- Strengthen community connectedness
- Build social capital and resilient communities
- Contribute to sustainable environments
Not just any form of sport will deliver on this promise – in order for sport to do good, it must be good.
