Samantha Bates studies how sport participation and coaching practices affect the development, well-being, and life skills of young people, especially high school and youth athletes. Her work spans coach training and mental health support, positive youth development programs, school climate, and how social work concepts intersect with sports settings. Much of the research is applied and policy-relevant, combining surveys, interviews, and program evaluations.
Publication output has grown fairly steadily over the past decade, rising from a few papers per year around 2017-2018 to a peak of 10 in 2024, with continued strong activity into 2025-2026.
