We know that sports and exercise are essential for still-developing bodies and minds, building not only muscle power and better coordination, but confidence, focus, creativity and teamwork.

What impact will all that have on the leadership capacity of the next generation? What will it mean for productivity, the capacity to learn, and global health?
