Abstract
ABSTRACT Parent-child relationships can be strengthened by the increased time spent together due to youth sport involvement. The time demands, however, require families to skip religious services. The intent of this qualitative study was to explore how Christian families with competitive youth athletes promote faith development. Fifteen families across the United States were interviewed to gather data related to the level of church and sport involvement as well as behaviours related to faith development. The results suggest families strategically find ways to remain involved in church, integrate their faith into daily life, and identify ways to develop character in sports.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
