Talent Identification…Talent Identification…

• System that allows growth and maturation

Target the elite in each “pool population”; not athletes detected early in their career

Measures more than results but also psychological, and social variables

• Allow coaches input to count

……and Selectionand Selection

• Allow the identified to have time to prepare for the next level

• Various criteria (past results, skills, psychological, physical, attitude, ?financial?

• An objective ranking system that makes it harder for the first years to make BC Team and with focus more on 2nd years + (or even 3rd years +)

Summary of changes to current systemSummary of changes to current system

• Use PHV as a tool to determine timeline for optimizing Aerobic, Strength and Weight gains

• Consider the athlete in the T2T phase until PHV curve is low (end of growth spurt)

- athlete must be fully trained for training before moving to T2C (body fully developed)

- late developing athletes may have to move to T2C phase before PHV curve is low

- early developing athletes may spend little time in their FIS years before going to T2C phase

• Improve coaching expertise at T2T phase to encourage proper development of athletes based on their biological age.

• Identify athletes based on their growth and maturation and then select athletes to provincial and national teams

• Improve education system to accommodate athletic pursuits

• Change current system to accommodate late maturing athletes
