Physical Profiling and Talent Identification for Sporting Success = 스포츠 성취를 위한 우수선수의 발굴과 신체 프로파일

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Central to the development of sporting talent using the resources of qualified coaches, sport scientists and sports physicians, has been a commitment by smaller countries to the systematic identification and development of youth with the physical and psychological potential to achieve success in high-level sport. This paper will explore a model for talent identification that has been used in Australia to great effect. Such a strategy is very important for countries like South Korea and Australia with hundreds of sports trying to attract junior participants from the limited population talent pool. We propose a five-stage process for a successful talent identification program, as follows:
·Develop a clear understanding of the important aspects for particular sport;
·Gather a set of relevant data on the young athlete;
·Compile normative data on elite performers to be used for purposes;
·Create a profile chart which shows the relationship between the young athlete and the norms for elite performers;
·The coach + sport scientist partnership cooperate to interpret the profile chart and create a developmental strategy for the athlete.
For this process to work effectively though, one must discover what system of talent identification works best within the cultural framework of the county.
