This chapter explains how PYD emerged and the ways in which it has been applied to sport. It details the origins of PYD, and discusses conceptual approaches to PYD and associated research. The chapter examines the life skills literature, and highlights important issues for future consideration to advance research and practice in PYD through sport. The approaches to PYD originating in developmental psychology have provided the foundation for contemporary PYD research in sport. Life skills building activities are an essential feature of programs designed to foster PYD. A major focus in PYD through sport revolves around helping youth learn life skills and transferring these skills to other contexts such as home, school, and work.
