TALENT AND PASSION Identifying TALENT is a tough

CHALLENGE.

At first sight it appears evident that youngsters showingsuperior technical skill would prevail and are designatedto become part of the elite circle. The study by Gabbettet al. (2007) adds some support to this assumption as itrevealed the discriminating power of passing and servingskills for junior volleyball players competing for selectioning a talent identification programme. Note that these authors did not find any differences for the physical competence.

As far as the technical component is concerned, a paper by Rostan, Pariser, and Gr¨uber(2002) is very instructive. In their study the authors com-pared the artworks (drawings) of As far as the technical component is concerned, a paper by Rostan, Pariser, and Gr¨uber(2002) is very instructive. In their study the authors com-pared the artworks (drawings) of children with a strongtraining in the visual arts and children without such atraining with the juvenile artwork of acclaimed Westernartists (e.g., Klee, Miro, Picasso, ...). The results of thisexpert appraisal showed that the juvenile artwork of theacclaimed artists clearly diered from the work of the con-temporary children. Actually the juvenilia had a higherscore on technical skill than art students, while this lattergroup outperformed the non-art students. These observa-tions illustrate a rather generic trend namely that initialtechnical skill defines (to an important degree) final qual-ity. It is important to note here that one needs to takeinto account the possible confounding influence of the“Matthew effect”. Young athletes who demonstrate highskill levels at young age, will more likely be selected forskill development programs, thus self-fulfilling the proph-esy that they will maintain a higher skill level at laterag.

“When the brain starts moving, tactics define the game”.This statement is helpful to highlight the vital role oftactical decisions and strategic behaviour for successfulresults.

Skateboarding Similarities between the identification and development of athletic talent and that of gifted children are rarely compared. Interestingly, however, they share analogous processes. The purpose of this review is to investigate the progress of research regarding athletic talent identification and development, including current issues, and provide suggestions for future research. Key roadblocks to the identification of athletic talent include attempting to identify talent at an early age, use of flawed athletic talent iden- tification models, and lack of education of coaches, parents, and teachers regarding how to properly identify athletic talent.

Proper identification of athletic talent has many benefits. From an eco- nomic standpoint, the success of the multi-billion-dollar professional sport industry relies heavily on successful identification and devel- opment of athletic talent. For the year of 2008–2009, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS, 2009) reports that 7,536,753 high school students participated in high school sports. However, according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, 2009b), just more than 40,600 student-athletes participate in their competitions each year. These numbers suggest that less than 1% of all athletes participating in high school sports will continue their participation into collegiate sports. Even fewer student athletes will possess the ability to become professional athletes. Yet, millions of athletes experience a host of benefits in youth sports. For example, H. Joey Gray is an assistant professor of recreation and leisure studies at Middle Tennessee State University. Her research interests include talent development, obesity, and pedagogy. Jonathan Plucker is a professor of educational psychology and cognitive science at Indiana University, where he also directs the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy. Additionally, youth sport is one way to combat the sharp increase in student obesity. These benefits point to the importance of encourag- ing and maintaining youth and young adult involvement in sports.

How can you surpass the others?

At first sight it appears evident that youngsters showing superior technical skill would prevail and are designated to become part of the elite circle. The study by Gabbettet all adds some support to this assumption as it revealed.

As we mentioned in the introduction, we also want tostrengthen our case by referring to talent identification inthe field of artistic culture.

CONCENTRATION In sport psychology, concentration refers to focusing on sensory or mental events coupled with mental effort. It therefore relates primarily to the selective attention dimension in which individuals are able to selectively process some sources of information while ignoring others.

Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others. Researchers have found that most times in the field of proffessional high-performance within sport psychology, research interest in concentration is predominantly focused in two areas. First is the study of skill Measurement failure under pressure, or choking; there is strong evidence that Researchers have used a range of psychophysiological tools, skill failure can result from reinvestment of conscious control as well as self-report measures, to infer attentional states. processes. Second, researchers have investigated the efficacy These include heart rate measurement, electroencephalograof external and internal foci of attention during learning and phy (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), in skilled performance and internal foci of attention during and ratings of the extent of focus on a particular information learning and in skilled performance. source in experimental paradigms. In addition, dual-task paradigms have been used to measure performers’ awareness of task-relevant and extraneous information, most notably in the study of choking. Self-report measures include the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS), which was devised

by Robert Nideffer to assess a range of personality measures, a subset of which were linked to his proposed two-dimensional model of attention. This model distinguishes between direction of attention (external, internal) and breadth of attention (broad, narrow) creating four combinations. The scale contains groups of items to measure positive attributes of attention (effective integration and effective narrowing) and items to measure negative attributes (overloading and underinclusion). Other scales that are more specifically focused include the Self-Consciousness Scale, which measures individual propensity for attending to the self, and the Reinvestment Scale (and its movement-specific and decision-specific versions), which measures the tendency to exert conscious control over movements or the decision making process.

Armstrong

entered sports at a young age, excelling in both swimming and cycling. By the time he was a teenager he was competing in triathlons and swimming competitions. Before his high-school graduation the junior national team of the U.S. Cycling Federation had recruited him. Armstrong competed in Moscow at the Junior World Championships and in 1990 won the U.S. Amateur Championships. In 1992 he turned professional when he joined the Motorola team, and one year later he became the second youngest man to win in world road racing.

WORK HARD, CHASE YOUR DREAMS ll the hard work finally paid off when I got the phone call. I was preparing for an opportunity that I wasn’t certain would come.

When the Dallas Cowboys invited me to training camp, it was the moment I’d waited for my whole life.Entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent is an uphill battle, but with guys like the Cowboys’ Miles Austin and the NY Giants’ Victor Cruz ascending from obscurity to stardom, I was confident that I could follow suit. I’m from Texas, so signing with the Cowboys, my life-long favorite team, was the ultimate dream come true. So many Black boys grow up certain that they will become a professional athlete. Like so many of our kids, I too had a family and network of people who believed along with me that this could happen. We dreamed it together. And as far-fetched as the dream is—after all, most kids, even talented ones, will not make it to a pro training camp—it became my reality. It was an honor to put on that uniform, so I wanted to do it justice by busting my butt every day. I was making plays and progressing, but the final cut deadlines were quickly approaching. Yet as fast as the opportunity materialized, there was no comparison for how quickly it was taken away.

There was no cushion to land on when reality came crashing down.

motivates Athletes?

To become the best athlete you can be, you must be motivated to do what it takes to maximize your ability and achieve your goals.Motivation, simply defined, is the ability to initiate and persist at a task. To perform your best, you must want to begin the process of developing as an athlete and you must be willing to maintain your efforts until you have achieved your goals.

Motivation in sports is so important because you must be willing to work hard in the face of fatigue, boredom and pain. the desire to do other things. Finally, motivation will impact performance. It is also the only factor over which you have control. Motivation will directly impact the level of success that you ultimately achieve.

NEVER GIVE UP

In sports as in life, we’re taught not to give up. There may be difficult times in sports, in school and elsewhere where it might be tempting to toss in the towel. This alltogehter shows that it is a shining example of one of the reasons not to give up. In sports, as in life, there will be times when individuals slip, fall, tumble or bad things happen to them. But, as the video belowshows, sometimes a fighting spirit will take you a long ways. Heather Dorniden was an 8-time All-American boxing champion.

The story of Marathon Everyone knows the original story of the marathon, right? This runner – whatsisname – ran 26 miles back from the Plain of Marathon to Athens, bringing news of the Athenian victory over the Persians, and he died of exhaustion after he gasped out his story. I have to say that I’ve always found this an improbable tale, even when I was told it in school. Why should anyone run themselves to death to bring good news? And can you kill yourself by collapsing at the end of one 26-miles long run?

If you love the feeling of adrenaline pulsing through your body and get a thrill from pushing yourself to your limits, then you‘ve come to the right place.

Adventure sports involve high speeds, tall heights, a high level of physical activity and often, an element of risk.They can be associated with holidays or travelling, however you don‘t have to look too far afield as the majority of adventure sports can be done not far from your doorstep in the UK. Many people think of skateboarding as a recreational activity, but if you take it to the next level it‘s a fast, thrilling action sport that is not for the faint hearted!

Top 4 Places to discover for passionate sports adventurer

Yosemite National Park is an American national park located in the western Sierra Nevada of Central California,bounded on the southeast by Sierra National Forest and on the northwest by Stanislaus National Forest. The park is internationally recognized for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, giant sequoia groves, lakes and mountains.

The Sequoia National Forest, named for the world‘s largest trees, has the greatest concentration of giant sequoia groves in the world. Protected within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, these groves and the areas around them are managed by the U.S. Forest Service.A range of camping options are available.

Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers. Subalpine wildflower meadows ring the icy volcano while ancient forest cloaks Mount Rainier’s lower slopes. Wildlife abounds in the park’s ecosystems.

Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity: fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and perhaps the most pristine on earth. Sportsmen gaze in wonder at its blue water.

Fussball

SPORT IS A WAY OF LIFE Erstmals gewinnt ein blinder Fußballer die Wahl zum „Tor des Monats“ Er spielt Fußball beim FC St. Pauli, ist blind und hat jetzt etwas geschafft, was er selbst als „historisch“ bezeichnet: Serdal Celebi ist der Schütze des „Tor des Monats“ der ARD-Sportschau. Der Treffer fiel im Meisterschaftsfinale. Serdal Celebi vom FC St. Pauli hat als erster blinder Fußballer das „Tor des Monats“ erzielt. Für seinen Treffer im Finale um die Deutsche Meisterschaft gegen den MTV Stuttgart (1:2) wurde er in der ARD-“Sportschau“ ausgezeichnet. Der 34 Jahre alte deutsche Nationalspieler hatte sich über den rechten Flügel nach vorne gedribbelt und mit der Pike in den linken Torwinkel geschossen. Celebi setzte sich in der August-Wahl gegen Kai Druschky (Chemie Leipzig), Jonas Meffert (Holstein Kiel), Marvin Plattenhardt (Hertha BSC) und Mike Frantz (SC Freiburg) durch. „Ich freue mich riesig, das Tor des Monats für den Blindenfußball geschossen zu haben. Das ist historisch. Herzlichen Dank an alle, die mich unterstützt und für mich abgestimmt haben“, teilte Celebi via Twitterkanal des FC St. Pauli mit.

Basketball

Metall auf Metall Schnell, hart, spektakulär: In Hamburg startet die Rollstuhlbasketball-WM. Die Regeln stammen aus dem Basketball, die Taktik ist eine komplett andere. Mit einem Griff ans linke Rad reißt Aliaksandr Halouski seinen Rollstuhl herum. Durch die schnelle Drehung steht das Sportgerät schräg vom Boden ab. Halouski passt auf die linke Seite, Jan Gans trifft per Korbleger. 41:38. Im dritten Viertel führt Deutschland gegen Weltmeister Australien erstmals mit drei Punkten, gewinnt das Spiel am Ende. Die Szene beim Nations Cup Cologne dauert nur wenige Sekunden.

Und doch zeigt sie die Faszination des Rollstuhlbasketballs: Die komplexe Koordination von Rollstuhl und Ball, der ständige Kampf um die entscheidende Position und die hohe Intensität in jeder einzelnen Aktion - das alles macht Rollstuhlbasketball so spektakulär. „Es hat sich erfreulicherweise in Deutschland zu einem richtigen Leistungssport entwickelt“, sagt Nicolai Zeltinger, Trainer der Männer-Nationalmannschaft. Bei dem Turnier in Köln hat sein Team die letzten Vorbereitungsspiele für die WM in Hamburg bestritten. Vom 16. bis zum 26. August spielen die Männer und die Frauen jeweils ihren Weltmeister aus. In Hamburg wird es auch darum gehen, den Sport bekannter zu machen. Sechs, sieben schnelle Stöße mit beiden Armen, dann hat André Bienek gegen Australien Fahrt aufgenommen. Er bekommt den Pass, wirft und trifft. Dann kracht es. Sein Rollstuhl knallt mit dem seines australischen Gegenspielers zusammen. Bienek fällt mitsamt seinem Sportgerät um - ist aber Sekunden später zum Freiwurf bereit. Sich selbst wiederaufzurichten, das wird auch im Training geübt, genauso der Umgang mit dem Rollstuhl als Sportgerät.

Schrei der Erleichterung Mit 21 Jahren die Sensation von Sotschi, mit 25 das große Gold-Versprechen in Pyeongchang: Paralympionikin Anna Schaffelhuber hat ihren Weg gefunden, mit Druck umzugehen - und erkennt sich manchmal kaum wieder. Als sie die Bilder von sich sah, erkannte Anna Schaffelhuber sich selbst kaum wieder. Sie hatte gerade paralympisches Gold in der Abfahrt gewonnen - und schrie ihre Freude laut heraus, als die Medaillengewinner im Stadion präsentiert wurden. „Diese krassen Jubelposen, die gibt es von mir eigentlich nicht“, sagte die Skirennfahrerin später.Tatsächlich sieht man von der 25-Jährigen in solchen Momenten höchstens mal eine geballte Faust. Üblicherweise lächelt sie schlicht. Küsschen, winken, Hymne, auf die Medaille beißen.

„A BEAUTYFUL STRUGGLE“

When Darrell Miller, a former Major League Baseball player for the California Angels, met his Catholic wife, Kelly, he wanted to “convert her and get her outta the Church.” “I really felt like all Catholics were lost,” he says in a video produced by the Knights of Columbus.

But it was Kelly who ended up eventually converting him into the Church, first through his intrigue with the Eucharist and then in becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus. The Church has helped Miller find what matters most, and he has passed his devotion onto his son, Darrell Miller, Jr., also a pro baseball payer, who turned to God in his worst moments of enduring surgeries after a car accident that nearly derailed his career.

TEAMWORK Team Cooperation Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may actually be people you are not that fond of off the playing field. But when your team decides at the beginning of the year that it wants to be the team in the winner‘s circle holding the league championship trophy at the end of the season, personal differences are often set aside for the common good of the team. Many coaches like to say that the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. This is saying that no one player is greater than the team. Sports such as football and ice hockey are physical sports and often require heavy commitment and dedication to be successful. By the end of the season, players who have been battered and bruised by the grind of the regular season and the playoffs may feel a strong connection, much like brothers, to their teammates.

Exercising and Socializing In the case of many of today‘s youth, team sports offer a way for kids and young adults to avoid many temptations, including drugs and criminal activity. It also allows for kids and adults alike a chance to get out and socialize with friends and avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. The team work involved in these sports allows for people to become part of something of value and teaches people how to help someone on their team when they are struggling and offer them words of encouragement when they are performing either poorly or admirably. Team work can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.

Competition Team work in sports offer a way for people to compete for something together. In ice hockey, for example, the captain of the team can make it his goal to motivate every member of his team to give everything they have during the season in order to win the league championship. Although it is important to know that winning is not everything in sports, healthy competition can be good for people. People can translate the hard work they‘ve put into their sport by working harder to be a better student or employee and a better person overall. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and dedication and team sports are a great way to learn these values.

Basketball courts come in different sizes. In the National Basketball Association (NBA), the court is 94 by 50 feet (28.7 by 15.2 m). Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the court is minutely smaller, measuring exactly 28 by 15 meters (91.9 by 49.2 ft). The baskets are always 10 feet (3.05 m) above the floor. Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc is worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player‘s foot touching the line, is worth 2 points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within the three-point arc at 15 feet from the basket.
