Talent Across the Ages

Gain further insight and share knowledge with other coaches working in similar talent settings

UK Coaching was formerly known as Sports Coach UK. We changed our name after expanding our support as an organisation. 

This is the third of four workshops 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 the different types of ages that are present within developing talented athletes/players and discuss the implications for you and your coaching practice.

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 Relative Age Effect and development ages, and be challenged to apply it to your own contexts
  • explore the key themes around developmental transitions, non-linearity of development and the links to mindset
  • be checked and challenged to reflect on your own environments, practices and systems, and share with coaches from other sports.

What People Think

We ran the Talent Foundation Series of workshops for a group of our coaches, and it was a really positive experience. The coaches benefited greatly, in particular from the ability of the tutor to relate discussions to the environment they were working in. We look forward to running more of the workshops in the future.
