Why Some Make It and Others Do Not: Identifying Psychological Factors That Predict Career Success in Professional Adult Soccer (2009, background): “Psychological factors (in addition to factors such as motor skills and biometric qualities) are recognized as critical for the acquisition of sport expertise (e.g., Abbott & Collins, 2002; Baker & Horton, 2004; Bloom, 1985; Cote, Baker, & Abernethy, 2003; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2002; Vaeyens, Lenoi”
An examination of the importance of performances in youth and junior competition as an indicator of later success in tennis (2012, background): “NSOs identify talented athletes for their programs and allocate available resources to the development of a small number of talented athletes to ensure returns on their financial investment (Unierzyski, 2006; Vaeyens et al., 2008).”
Talent development in sport: A critical review of pathways to expert performance (2016, background): “The authors also contended that talent development needs to be viewed as a multidimensional construct because wide ranges of abilities including interpersonal, intrapersonal, cognitive, and creative ability are important contributors within this complex process.(9,21,60,73,74) Despite the meaningful”
Talent Identification and Development: The Need for Coherence Between Research, System, and Process (2013, background): “In this regard, Vaeyens et al. (2008) suggested that test outcomes assume current ability will indicate future ability.”
The Role of Psychological Characteristics in Facilitating the Pathway to Elite Performance Part 2: Examining Environmental and Stage-Related Differences in Skills and Behaviors (2010, background): “Since the goal of talent development (TD) is to provide the most appropriate learning environment to realize an individual’s potential to excel, it is surprising that these crucial determinants of development are consistently overlooked (Vaeyens et al., 2008).”
The Youth Physical Development Model: A New Approach to Long-Term Athletic Development (2012, background): “owing to differential rates of development of chronologic age and biologic maturity (57,68,108).”
The Standard Model of Talent Development and Its Discontents (2013, background): “…acceptance among sport scientists that performance in all forms of sport is multifactorial, requiring the performer to develop a range of skills and abilities (such as physical fitness, movement competence, and mental skills; Bartmus et al., 1987; Vaeyens et al., 2008; Williams & Ericsson, 2005).”
Compromising Talent: Issues in Identifying and Selecting Talent in Sport (2018, background): “…cases (e.g., team activities), the athlete with a clear area of exceptional skill (i.e., Athlete 2) might be better—especially if certain skills can be substituted by other members of a team or by subtle changes in team tactics (see “compensation phenomenon” as discussed by Vaeyens et al., 2008).”
The Role of Psychological Characteristics in Facilitating the Pathway to Elite Performance Part 1: Identifying Mental Skills and Behaviors (2010, background): “…however, such an individual is unlikely to be selected when unidimensional TID models are employed since these fail to capture those processes performers must satisfy to achieve excellence and can provide a false early indication of talent (Vaeyens, Lenoir, Williams, & Philippaerts, 2008).”
