This is the fourth workshop in the Talent Foundation Series and is for high-performing coaches with an interest in talent development, working, or having a desire to work, with emerging athletes within the England Talent Pathway.
You will explore some of the key concepts and challenges in talent development, and discuss the implications for you and your athletes/players.
Because the nature of talent development is so varied, your workshop experience will be very much focused on what you and the rest of the group want to get out of that particular workshop, meaning you get a highly relevant, personalised experience.
You will:
- share current academic research regarding talent development, and be challenged to apply it to your own contexts
- explore the themes of deliberate practice and the 10,000-hour debate, and investigate how to assist players/athletes to accelerate their development
- be checked and challenged to reflect on your own coaching practice, and share with coaches from other sports.
