THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF ATHLETES IN YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Abstract: This study aims at understanding what has been produced in national and international literature about participation of young elite athletes in the Youth Olympic Games, focusing on their educational experience. We conducted a qualitative systematic review including searches in five different databases using inclusion and exclusion criteria to select seven articles. The results showed that participation in the YOG can promote a set of value-based learnings for young athletes. However, such educational experiences seem to materialize much more from informal meetings and sociocultural interactions between them. It finds that the success of this new mega event does not lie in replicating the Olympic Games in preparation for the youth to perform in adult editions, but in their ability/potential to balance the sport-competition-education triad more clearly.
