  1. 2.1 Elite Performers- The route What is the sports development continuum? What strategies exist for advancing people along the continuum?

  2. Sports development Continuum Foundation • Early development of physical competence • Recreational play with parents or PE programme Participation • Commitment of time to activity • Sport undertaken primarily for fun (Recreation) • Competence levels can differ- desire to progress? Performance • Significant move towards organised sport • Club or County level • Regular training and coaching • Desire to win Excellence • Reaching the top standard • National or International levels

  3. England Hockey

  4. Creating the foundation base Sport England’s primary function NGBs are charged with encouraging more people to participate • Lottery funding is dependant on this Benefits • Personal and community health and wellbeing- links to AS topics • Great chance of finding the talent which is out there

  5. Talent Identification Programmes (TIPs) Having a large foundation won’t help unless there is a way of finding those with enough talent to make it to the top. NGBs have primary function to put this in place. • Work with schools and clubs to set up local and regional TIPs • Additional talent searches such as Football’s next star

  6. TIPs – The criticisms Previous difficulty in finding elite performers was blamed on poor TIPs • Use of physiological data to select youngsters favoured those who had developed early • Use of current performance levels at early as an indicator favoured those who had best opportunities- supportive parents, specialist coaching at school etc • Can result in over-specialistation at a young age, linked to high drop out rates. • Few TIPs used any psychological testing despite the links to progression • Most focused on whether the performer currently had the skills not whether they had the potential to learn further • Emphasis on success leads to confusion between current performance and talent (potential). If funding only goes to ‘best’ juniors then lots of wasted talent.

  7. Providing the development structure To enable a performer to move through the stage of the pyramid... • Opportunities to play at a higher level • Structured layers of competition (Leagues) • Representative structure • Through selection processes • Can play for district, region or country • Development squads linked to TIPs • Bringing together the best performers • Most potential • Give them high quality coaching and training

  8. Supporting performer development Providing necessary levels of support... • Financial • Technical • Psychological UK clarified it’s systems of support with the main responsibility belonging to... • NGBs • UK Sport • English Institute of Sport • Sports Councils of Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland • British Olympic Association • Sports Coach UK • Sports Aid
