Sports selection must be seen as a continuous process, correlated and directed towards a certain specialization of the child [1]. In our methodological research, we investigated the bio-motor and mental levels of Romanian juniors aged 15 to evaluate the level of compliance of their anthropometric, psychomotor, and psychological parameters with the performance requirements of the sprinting-hurdling-jumping events. We found an early specialization, the inconsistency of some anthropometric parameters (e.g. height) with the structural models of the events, as well as the need to improve self-confidence and manage psychological and physical anxiety.
