• Evidence for the social construction of ability in physical education (2010, background): “…child’s latent potential to achieve in particular sports can be identified through a battery of measurements focusing on the anthropometric, physiological and psychological characteristics of young people and subsequently fostered (Pienaar et al., 1998; Reilly et al., 2000; Abbott & Collins, 2002).”
• 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, Leno”
• Building Sport Programs to Optimize Athlete Recruitment, Retention, and Transition: Toward a Normative Theory of Sport Development (2005, unknown): “Research suggests, however, that performance potential in the long-term (i.e., several years hence) is neither readily nor accurately assessed (Abbott & Collins, 2002; Howe, Davidson, & Sloboda, 1998).”
• The Role of Psychological Characteristics in Facilitating the Pathway to Elite Performance Part 1: Identifying Mental Skills and Behaviors (2010, methodology): “When this omission is coupled with the low predictive value of such TID models (Abbott & Collins, 2002), it emphasizes the need to consider the multiple components that facilitate the effective evolution of potential into achievement.”
