TLDR
Effective talent development needs to incorporate physical and psychological maturity, the relative age effect, objective measures of game sense, and athletic prowess and is a worthy investment in professional team sport.Abstract:
Traditional talent development pathways for adolescents in team sports follow talent identification procedures based on subjective games ratings and isolated athletic assessment. Most talent development models are exclusive rather than inclusive in nature. Subsequently, talent identification may result in discontentment, premature stratification, or dropout from team sports. Understanding the multidimensional differences among the requirements of adolescent and elite adult athletes could provide more realistic goals for potential talented players. Coach education should include adolescent development, and rewards for team success at the adolescent level should reflect the needs of long-term player development. Effective talent development needs to incorporate physical and psychological maturity, the relative age effect, objective measures of game sense, and athletic prowess. The influences of media and culture on the individual, and the competing time demands between various competitions for player training time should be monitored and mediated where appropriate. Despite the complexity, talent development is a worthy investment in professional team sport. No clear guidelines exist for the effective development of talented team sports athletes. Talent development issues are global and not exclusive to team sports athletes. 1 The one unifying factor is that because of the many factors associated with growth, development, and maturation, the same strategies employed with elite adult athletes are unlikely to be sustainable in adolescents.read more

TL;DR: It is crucial that the LTAD model is seen as a “work in progress” and the challenge, particularly for paediatric exercise scientists, is to question, test, and revise the model.

A brief review of strength and ballistic assessment methodologies in sport
Daniel Travis McMaster,Nicholas D. Gill,Nicholas D. Gill,John B. Cronin,John B. Cronin,Michael R. McGuigan,Michael R. McGuigan +6 more
TL;DR: The reliability and validity outcomes suggest that a number of measurement systems and testing procedures can be implemented to accurately assess maximum strength and ballistic performance in recreational and elite athletes, alike, but the reader needs to be cognisant of the inherent differences between measurement systems.

The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance.
TL;DR: A theoretical framework is proposed that explains expert performance in terms of acquired characteristics resulting from extended deliberate practice and that limits the role of innate (inherited) characteristics to general levels of activity and emotionality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe patterns in the dynamics of families of talented athletes throughout their development in sport, including three families of elite rowers and one family of an elite tennis player.

Anthropometric and physiological predispositions for elite soccer
TL;DR: It is concluded that anthropometric and physiological criteria do have a role as part of a holistic monitoring of talented young players, and fitness profiling can generate a useful database against which talented groups may be compared.
