Abstract	In early 2000, the concept of sport-for-development and peace building was irrelevant and non-existent in traditional sport management teaching and scholarship. The existing social challenges we face in local communities across the globe makes it critically important to understand, advance and improve the functions of sport and olympism. The way we perceive, theorise and practise sport is relevant to each one of us, no matter our role or cultural context. Based on the axiom that 'there is nothing more practical than a good theory' (Lewin, 1952, p. 169), every stakeholder engaged in this movement has a responsibility to shift the existing paradigm by changing current frameworks and visions in order to improve the way we address humanitarian challenges. This rationale was the main drive and vision of my (Lyras) personal, professional and academic journey that led to (a) the conception of Sport-for-Development Theory (SFDT) (Lyras, 2007); (b) the implementation of human-centred global initiatives; and (c) integrated teaching, research and service endeavours. While the first part of this chapter will use the word 'I' to indicate the first author, we will move from 'I' the individual into 'we' - the collective - to demonstrate how theory can be used for diversified collaborations, new programing, scientific testing, tenure, promotion, teaching, publications, student engagement and in service of humanitarian goals and objectives. The main purpose of this chapter is to share personal narratives in order to better understand how ideas related to Sport-for-Development Theory (Lyras, 2007) were conceived and how this framework has evolved and been put in practice over time. Hopefully, this personal expression will make the process of theory building and testing transparent and informative for other scholars. A short essay with the title "Applying Sport-for-Development Theory" is added to the chapter, in which the author Adam Cohen traces the impact of the theory on his research and teaching. (geändert).
