 Association between organized team and individual sports and internalizing problems: A literature review 
Among the intervention strategies aimed at promoting the mental health of children and adolescents, organized sports are often central to intervention programs (Rioux et al., 2017). However, organized sports do not all have the same associations with youth mental health. Several social processes could explain these differentiated links. The aim of this article is to review the current literature regarding the distinction between team and individual sports and their links with internalizing problems, and to suggest social processes that might be at play in these sporting experiences. Increased knowledge of the psychosocial impact of different organized sports on children and adolescent is necessary to improve the sport-based intervention approach. Recommendations for practitioners are formulated on the basis of the results of recent scientific studies with the goal of providing possible solutions to challenges present in their practice when using sport as an intervention tool.
