A guide is currently being developed in partnership with National Governing Bodies of Sports. The guide will list simple descriptors to aid schools in recognising talented performers at the right age and stage of development.
Talent recognition varies by sport. Gymnasts and divers are recognised at an earlier age than many other sports. What skills and abilities does a cyclist have compared to a canoeist?
The guide will contain information to help schools in recognising and supporting talented performers, so they can pursue sports in which they may be successful.
