Assumptions of Talent Identification: Adult performance can be predicted by earlier performance

So Why Do We Engage in Talent Identification?

A

  • Access to the ‘best’ coaches & facilities
  • Reduced financial burden for parents
  • Individualised training programmes
  • Provision of opportunities
  • Opportunities for early sporting success
20
Q

Potential Pitfalls/Challenges Associated with Talent Identification

A

Maturation Status:

  • Children of the same age might be biologically, psychologically, socially at different developmental stages
  • Usually refers to biological status – early, average, late
  • Early maturation associated with enhanced ability on physical tests
21
Q

Maturation Status

Psychological and social maturation could influence performance at ID day:

A
  • Some children might be able to cope with the challenge, while others might not
  • Some children might be coming from a socially supportive environment while others might not
  • Development could influence ability to understand instruction, carry out new tasks, complete multiple tasks
22
Q

what must you consider with Maturation Status & Talent ID?

A
  • Need to consider the interrelationships between person, task performed and environment
  • Must take account of biological and cognitive developmental stage
  • Tasks children are being asked to perform
  • Environment being created for the talent ID session
23
Q

Relative Age Effect: what is it and how does it have an effect on sport?

A
  • Relative age effects exist when lots of people want to play the sport
  • E.G., Likely to be more of an issue regarding football in the UK but not an issue in curling?
  • Relative age effects exist when big emphasis placed on winning and identifying talent
  • E.G., With more focus on winning medals at the Olympics we’ll likely start to see more relative age effects
  • Relative age effects exist when sport success largely influenced by physical size
  • E.G., With more focus on winning medals at the Olympics we’ll likely start to see more relative age effects
24
Q

what is the underdog hypothesis?

A

To be competitive and/or be retained in youth sports programmes, relatively younger and/or late maturing players must either possess and/or develop superior technical, tactical and psychological skills.

  • Comparatively greater challenge is experienced by relatively younger and later maturing players is thought to necessitate and/or encourage the development of these attributes
  • Becomes apparent during late adolescent/early adulthood
  • But only if they are selected/retained in programmes in the first place.
25
Q

what are some additional issues with talent ID? part 1

A

•Selecting athletes who demonstrate technical proficiency in certain tasks

•Providing inappropriate/wrong resources to ‘talented’ children
–What are the best ways of nurturing talent?
–Once someone is labelled as ‘talented’ do you start to restrict other sporting opportunities?

26
Q

what are some additional issues with talent ID? part 2

A

•Expectations and pressures associated with being talented

–Psychological and physiological demands placed on developing athletes
