Intrapersonal
Environmental
Chance
(Other models don’t account for these)
According to Gagne, what are you if you are the top 10% in the systematically developed skills
Talent
What theory does the Gagnes 2000 differentiated model of giftedness and talent link to?
10yrs/10,000 hrs theory
Highlights learning + practise as a key factor
Development Model of Sports Participation (Cote)
What are the 3 highlighted phases?
Sampling phase
Specialising phase
Investment phase
Development Model of Sports Participation (Cote)
Sampling phase
6-12 yrs
Range of activities
Having fun
Stage is dominated by ‘deliberate play’
Development Model of Sports Participation (Cote)
Specialising phase
13-15yrs
Focus on 1 or 2 sports
Sport-specific skill development.
Development Model of Sports Participation (Cote)
Investment phase
16yrs +
Committed to achieving elite status in 1 sport.

Talent Development in P.E
Bailey + Morley, 2006
Physical, social, personal, cognitive + creative abilities must all be recognised when identifying talent.
Model encourages teachers to consider a range of factors affecting learning
Talent Development in P.E
Bailey + Morley, 2006
What are the factors affecting learning that teachers are encouraged to consider?
Awareness of the multidimensionality of the ability
Differentiating between potential + performance
Acknowledgement of factors which can influence upon development of abilities
Focus on P.E rather than sport
Biopsychosocial model
Inclusion of 3rd dimension allows for different pathways of development through time with the addition of the z-axis.
Suggests that athletic development is determined by biological, psychological + social factors + their interactions.
Biopsychosocial model
Base of sphere
Early age
Few activities/options available to ind
Biopsychosocial model
Middle of sphere
Participant is becoming older + developing
Large number of options, relating to the characteristics of the participant & their environment, together with the objective of the process (i.e elite referenced excellence, personal reference excellent & participation for personal well-being).
Biopsychosocial model
Top of sphere
Participant is ageing
No. of permutations decreased towards + almost exclusively participation for personal well-being.
Proposed Model of Development for Adolescent Sports Players (Burgess & Naughton, 1010)
Centres on an interactive approach, with the players immediate & LT welfare central to all programs & actions.
Responsible talent development in team sports for adolescents doesn’t lie with any single individual within the sports industry & is best accepted as a collective & complex but worthwhile challenge.
Relative Age Effects (RAE)
Influence of selection + progression through fixed annual birthdate distribution
