Collective Impact to Influence Policy for Healthy Youth Sports

About this course

This course will bring academic thought leaders and practitioners together to discuss the promotion and policy implications of long-term athletic development/athletic development model (LTAD/ADM), and how LTAD/ADM can be infused into policy and address various “hot topic” issues in youth sport. Topics addressed will include: how LTAD/ADM fits into the National Physical Activity Plan, how the National Physical Education Standards and National Coaching Standards complement LTAD/ADM, and how the USOPC ADM informs policy across all National Governing Bodies. Additionally, the importance of youth fitness certification will be discussed. There will be specific focus on how NYSHSI will play a role in informing policy and gaining support for the ACSM/NYSHSI Strategic Health Initiative. Collective impact will be fostered through collaboration and discussion from presenters and session participants to help reshape and enhance the community youth sport experience, promote quality physical education and coach education, and improve the health and well-being of all youth.
