This study sought to understand how behavioral therapy techniques in concert with participation in structured sports activities work to mitigate some of the challenges faced by at-risk youth in urban settings. These youth are served by the Doc Wayne organization, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is "to fuse sport and therapy to heal and strengthen at-risk youth" (Doc Wayne, 2019f, para.1). The questions that informed this intrinsic case study research included: (1) How do behavioral therapists at the Doc Wayne organization describe their experiences in learning the skills to work with at-risk youth in urban communities? (2) How do they describe the effects of integrating behavior change techniques into sports coaching with the participating inner-city youth? (3) What changes do they perceive in the youth's actions and interactions as individuals and as team members?The three methods of collecting data for this study included artifact and document review from the Doc Wayne program, 10 one-on-one semi-structured interviews with full-time staff and interns, and researcher observations during the interviews with maintenance of a researcher's journal. Four themes emerged from the analysis of the data collected: (a) Collaboration, both among staff and staff with the community; (b) Behavior change through ownership, advocacy,xiv and leadership; (c) Demonstration of care and support, developing relationships, and connections with youth; and (d) Creation of a consistently safe environment.The results indicated that the behavioral therapists at the Doc Wayne organization learn the therapeutic coaching skills primarily through collaborative methods among other staff and community members. Once earning the respect of the youth served, the therapists (presenting themselves as coaches) were able to reach these youth by "meeting them where they are." Their use of consistency in expectations, and creating a safe environment based on trauma-informed care, allows the youth to actively engage personally as demonstrated by the youth's willingness to discuss their feelings and life experiences. While individual changes often came slowly, improvements primarily in self-confidence, self-advocacy, and respect for boundaries became more in evidence over the calendar of sessions.The conclusions led to recommendations to expand their practice of bringing in external consultants to deliver professional development on an expanded range of topics for staff and interns; to engage in new partnerships to increase staff and intern diversity to better reflect a representation that aligns with the students in the program; and to study other organizations that use therapy through sports to work with at-risk, inner-city youth to enhance research on sports therapy.
