The primary goal of KCC was to help youth envision and discover meaningful, positive possible futures. The program took place at a low performing inner city high school in a large metropolitan city. The participants were 14 freshmen, 14 to 15 years of age, recruited from a second period physical education class. A qualitative approach to program evaluation was used to examine the impact of KCC. Qualitative data sources included field observations, participant daily journal entries, and in-depth interviews with the participants. Results indicated that the program helped participants connect the TPSR goals of respect, effort, goal-setting, and leadership skills to their possible futures; envision and explore a career in kinesiology; and link kinesiology to their own positive possible futures. Results were mixed in demonstrating balanced hopes and fears as suggested by the theory of possible selves. This study extends the development, implementation, and research of Hellisons TPSR. While TPSR has been considered an exemplary youth development model, this study is only the second attempt with possible futures as the main emphasis (Walsh, 2008). Findings indicate that KCC is an effective TPSR program; however, it is still in its infancy and requires further research. spa Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Impact of the Kinesiology Career Club: a TPSR-base possible futures program for youth in underserved communities info:eu-repo/semantics/article URL https://uvadoc.uva.es/bitstream/10324/23743/1/AEFD-2014-2-impact-of-the.pdf File MD5 e3d4cc120bc7ce3d7350169446851bff 302618 application/pdf AEFD-2014-2-impact-of-the.pdf
