The model for talent development in PE has been designed and developed over the past six years by David Morley and Professor Richard Bailey.
Identifying and Developing Talent - Who are the talented pupils in PE?
Pupils are recognised as talented when they demonstrate high-level ability within the range of PE contexts or have the potential to do so. Specifically it is suggested that talented pupils excel in one or more of the following abilities that reflect the full range of PE:
Physical ability is revealed through pupil’s competence and fitness to perform a range of physical abilities.
Social ability is exhibited in social contexts, and is the basis of leadership, teamwork and similar concepts.
Personal ability underpins an individual’s capacity for self-regulation, self belief and commitment to mastery.
Cognitive ability is shown in planning and compositional settings, as well as knowledge and understanding of central physical educational concepts.
Creative ability is evidenced when learners respond to challenges and tasks with fluency, originality and sensitivity to problems.
