Just like character development, fostering self-esteem in young athletes depends on how the sport is presented. If sport is presented in a way that inspires confidence and security, sport can instill or improve self-esteem. Once again, it is not the sport itself that instills self-esteem but rather the way in which the sport is presented. However, there is a connection between self-esteem and physical activity that may have a lot to do with why and how young players can develop healthy self-esteem through sport. “Additionally, in terms of child development, positive parental involvement can help develop important skills such as self-esteem, motivation and social skills” (Quinton)
