Sport experience and age group effects on enjoyment and development assets of youth soccer athletes

Abstract

During sport practice the athletes are submitted to dispositional situations that may influence their enjoyment and developmental assets. We aim to: a) verify the sport experience and age group effects on sources of enjoyment and development assets of youth soccer players. Participated 308 players, with ages between 12 and 18 participated, which responded to DAP and SEYSQ. An ANOVA, MANOVA and linear regression were performed. The age category influences the sources of satisfaction and development assets, and the measure factors between them are correlated. The family support, positive identity and positive values are predictors of sources of enjoyment in youth sport.
