Understanding Leadership Development Among Newcomer Youth Through Sport Participation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study focuses on the experience of the youth who immigrated to Canada from non- English speaking countries. The main aim is to build understanding on the potential occurrence of leadership development among these youth through sport participation. Sports such as soccer are viewed as a borderless activity, and for a newcomer youth whose entire life has changed, this avenue of familiarity may help to cultivate leadership development when other avenues may be limited. This study seeks to add to an area of academic literature by inquiring deeply into the specific intersection of newcomer youth to Canada, benefit of sport participation and leadership development. Using case study methodology, I interviewed 9 participants in total, all from the same organization which supports newcomer youth through sport and emphasizes leadership development. After gathering the qualitative evidence, I thematically analyzed the data to explore emergent themes. I conducted the analysis using a conceptual model of youth leadership development (Redmond & Dolan, 2016). Further, I thematically grouped aspects of their development that were not encompassed by the model. It was discovered that sport participation evoked emotions of comfort to the lives of the participants which allowed them to feel safe, secure and competent in their participation. Additionally, sport was an environment with ample support for newcomer youth. Finally, there were many holistic benefits beyond leadership development which sport brought to the lives of the newcomer youth participants. Collectively considering these gained benefits, it was evident that sport indeed was an avenue of leadership development for these newcomer youth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
