Talent identification and development in soccer

Abstract: In this review, we attempt to integrate the main research findings concerned with talent identification and development in soccer. Research approaches in anthropometry, physiology, psychology and sociology are considered and, where possible, integrated. Although some progress has been made in identifying correlates of playing success, it appears that no unique characteristics can be isolated with confidence. Both biological and behavioural scientists have indicated a strong genetic component in performance of … Show more

“…1 Many elite organisations place large financial investments into the identification and selection of talented juniors, 2 with the goal of subsequently providing the most appropriate learning environment to accelerate their identified potential. 3 Manifesting from this investment, many governing sport organisations host annual draft combines to facilitate the talent selection process, in which the most talented juniors (predominately under 18 years of age) are invited to partake in a range of tests purported to quantify their physical abilities and technical skills.…”

“…Em consequência desta complexidade, têm surgido, na literatura científica, várias abordagens multidimensionais que se centram na avaliação de talentos em diversos parâmetros (ELFERINK-GEMSER et al, 2004;FALK et al, 2004;REILLY et al, 2000;SÁENZ-LÓPEZ et al, 2005). Nesta perspetiva, interessa salientar que enquanto os estudos retrospetivos questionam de forma mais aberta os "experts" (treinadores, pais, atletas, dirigentes), detetando e discutindo uma diversidade de fatores, por vezes difíceis de categorizar, os estudos quantitativos tendem a centrar as atenções na avaliação de tarefas fechadas sem oposição e em ambientes estáveis, desvirtuando desta forma a natureza dinâmica das respetivas modalidades (PHILLIPS et al, 2010).…”

“…Face a esta diversidade de fatores, são compreensíveis as dificuldades sentidas no que concerne à identificação de talentos, pois não foi ainda possível detetar a natureza dos critérios determinantes e, consequentemente, fundamentar a predição da mestria desportiva com base numa medida específica (HELSEN et al, 2000;LAVANDERA, 1999;WILLIAMS;REILLY, 2000). Na realidade, a tentativa de estabelecer uma ligação funcional entre o suporte científico e o terreno não tem levado à determinação de métodos válidos e fiáveis passíveis de identificar e selecionar precocemente atletas de elite, o que facilitaria a gestão dos recursos (FALK et al, 2004).…”
