Abstract: Introduction : Sport is an extraordinary tool for instilling various life values. One of these values is the development of positive youth through sport. This study aims to explore how sport can be key to successfully integrating life skills programs within the framework of positive youth development. The Study Aims: The study aims to emphasize that program integration should be implemented to achieve maximum results, compared to non-integrated approaches. Material and Method: This study uses an experimental approach with a purposive sample of 98 respondents in the integration group and 150 in the non-integration life skills group. This study uses the Positive Youth Development Sustainability Scale (PYDSS), which includes 26 questions. Furthermore, the results of the study will be tested with paired samples correlations. Results The study found that the group with intentionally integrated life skills showed an increase in PYD scores with a significance value of 0.777, while the non-integration group had a significance value of 0.455. This indicates that integration can significantly improve PYD outcomes. This study strongly recommends that schools and teachers intentionally integrate life skills through physical education. Conclusions: Intentional integration of life skills allows students to benefit from PYD values.
