Perspectives No. 9 Talent Identification and Development – The Search For Sporting Excellence |
“Talent Identification and Development - The Search For Sporting Excellence,” edited by Richard Fisher and Richard Bailey, presents a series of articles exploring the field of talent identification and development. The book reflects the multi-disciplinary and applied principles on which this Perspectives series are based and the content is divided into two sections: the first looking at disciplinary approaches and the second dealing with themes and models. Whilst it is impossible to cover the entire field in either section, leading authors were invited to write on a selection of key disciplinary approaches and related issues and together they provide a reasonable representation of what is happening across the world in talent identification and development. These include: Philosophical Perspectives of Talent Development Psychological Perspectives on Talent Identification and development in Sport Physiological Perspectives on the Identification and Development of Talented Performers in Sport Biomechanical Perspectives on the Identification and Development of Talent in Sport Sociological Perspectives of the Sporting Lives of Elite African Athletes Talent Development: Developing Children’s Talent and/or Development of Talented Children The Search for Sporting Excellence Youth Sport: Talent, Socialisation, and Development
Directory of Sport Science, 5. Edition 50 Years of ICSSPE - A Journey Through Time |
Three primary objectives of ICSSPE are: 1) to encourage international co-operation in the field of sport science; 2) to facilitate differentiation in sport science whilst promoting the integration of various branches; and 3) to make scientific knowledge of sport and physical education available. The Directory of Sport Science is developed in line with these three objectives. It is a ‘first stop’ for information on the diverse disciplines and thematic areas that comprise sport science and physical education and contains up-to-date literature and links to the latest information sources. Published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of ICSSPE, this special edition of the Directory of Sport Science features a summary of the history of ICSSPE with a closer look at the last ten years. Jan Borms, the author of this historic summary digs into the archives and presents an exciting and informative look into ICSSPE’s past. The book will be officially launched at the 50th Anniversary Reception in Guangzhou, China. http://www.icsspe.org/portal/index.php?w=1&z=5 Upcoming Publications
