TIDS Reminders?
Performance is different from potential; therefore there is a need to move away from focusing on early selection and specialization. The characteristics of effective performance are very different from those factors associated with the potential to develop and become successful The skills required are different throughout the age groups. For instance, strength and maturity may play a big role at the junior level, but as strength and size balance out, mental factors such as decision making and anticipation become more important predictors for success. It seems clear that in order to provide youngsters with the best chance of realising their potential in the longer term, talent identification and development programs must focus on habits and skills that will be effective at later stages, together with those which enhance a youngsters ability to learn, develop, and progress successfully into the future
