Is bad stronger than good when it comes to youth experiences in sport? . “Bad is stronger than good” reflects a broader psychological phenomenon where negative events or experiences have a stronger impact on individuals than positive ones. This concept has been explored in various contexts, including education, relationships, and media consumption. This innovative project aims to investigate this phenomena in the context of youth sport and explore strategies used by sport coaches that may support or thwart young people’s wellbeing. Expected outcomes of this multidisciplinary project include a tool for measuring the observable characteristics of sport that influence wellbeing. It will also generate new knowledge to inform international guidelines about how to ‘optimise’ sport to enhance wellbeing in youth.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 3901 - Curriculum and Pedagogy.
