• What are the most important sports policy factors leading to international sporting success?
• Why do some nations succeed and others fail in high performance sport?
• How can we determine the competitive position of nations?

• How can we evaluate effectiveness and efficiency of elite sport policies?

Conclusion 1: Keys to effectiveness
Mainly four pillars were identified as important areas of an effective elite sport policy:– Pillar 1: funding in elite sport– Pillar 5: athletic and post athletic career– Pillar 6: training facilities– Pillar 7: coaches development
The best performing nations in summer Olympic sports (UK, Italy, Neth.), had the best scores on these pillars

Conclusion 2: Competitive advantage
Three pillars of international sporting success are still relatively underdeveloped in all sample nations and might thus give a competitive advantage:
• Pillar 4: Talent identification and -development
• Pillar 7: Coaches provisions• Pillar 9: Scientific research/sport science

Conclusion 3: Talent development
The two best and largest nations in our sample, Italy and the UK, achieved relatively poor ratings on pillar 4: talent identification and development systems.
In an increasingly competitive environment, this relaxed approach to talent identification and development will not be sustainable for a long time any more; making the prospects of small countries (still) poorer.

Some critical questions
1. Is a broad participation base required for achieving international sporting success?
Is it possible to strategically strive for success in relatively small sports in terms of the number of participants?

Objective• To orient young people to the sport
that best suits their abilities• (indirectly) to identify talents from
ouside a sports participants base

athletes has practiced more than one sport

4. In what organisational context should talents be nurtured? Centralised (federation) or decentralised (clubs), or both?
What should/can the role of clubs be in the talent development (TI) process and what should be the role of the federation?
What kind of support services are needed for the combination of elite sport and study?
Should young athletes train in their home environment or together in one place?
What are the ideal training circumstances to develop young athletes at each age? (Training volume, training intensity, Competition volume, support services
Some critical questions NURTURING: talent development
![Page 38: Talent development: A comparative factor in international ...s3.amazonaws.com/zanran_storage/ · decentralised (clubs), or both? What should/can the role of clubs be in the talent](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041614/5e3a28013384e1386e4bdee5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Strengths• centralised: best athletes train together in 1 centre
• funding by sports sector as well as educational sector
• sportspecific coaching coordinated by federation, educational guidance through school
• all ages (12‐18 years old), depending on requirements of sport
• living, studying and training at 1 place
• legal basis, nationally coordinated
FLANDERS: topsport schools
weaknesses
• boarding school system ‐children away from home
• limited study orientations (consequently, many talents are missed)
• conflicts with clubs (due to centralisation)
• relatively expensive

strengths(1) "LOOT‐schools“• 20 regional LOOT schools (topsport talent schools): close to home (sleeping)
• decentralised: many elite athletes involved
• all ages• relatively cheap (limited national funding)
• legal basis, nationally coordinated (2) CTO: centres for elite sport and education, since 2008
• living, studying and training at 1 place• sport specific training coordinated by federation
NETHERLANDS: LOOT & CTO
weaknessesLOOT• best athletes don't train together in 1 centre
• sport‐specific coaching through sports clubs ‐sufficient expertise?
CTO• relatively recent system; best athletes are reached?
• in a selected number of sports

Strengths weaknesses2 systems: centralised (15 topp‐iddrettsgymnas) and decentralised• financed by Ministry of Education and Research & athletes recrutedby federation• study results as a condition for the elite sports gymnasia• long tradition: since 1968
•topp‐iddrettsgymnas are financed by athlete and are expensive• starts relatively late (15 years)

Are elite sport schools effective?
Sports...that only performed through an elite sportschool
triatlon (since 2005); gymnastics
with better performances in an elite sportschool
badminton; table tennis
performing in both paths: with and without elite sport school
Athletics; swimming; judo; tennis
with better performances next to/withoutfollowing a path through an elite sportschool
Cycling
No performances at all Handball

Conclusion
•There is need for more robust evidence on the systems and processesof elite sport development
•… at a sport specific level

SPLISS: a network of research cooperation in high performance sport policies
1. Policy purpose: to benchmark nations against other competitors, -both at an overall and a sport specific level, for able-bodied and disability sports
2. Research purpose: to develop theories on the key success factors and methods to compare nations in elite sport and to measure the competitiveness of nations in elite sport (both at an overall and a sport specific level, for able-bodied and disability sports).
