Abstract

Sports are a worldwide phenomenon today. In no period of the world history sports was so popular, organized and important as it is today. Considering the importance of sports competitions, one can say that it has become a social need of the present civilization, which must be met by the societies and the government. Although talent identification and development programmes have gained popularity in the recent decades, there remains a lack of consensus in relation to talent identification and there is no uniformly accepted theoretical framework to guide current practice. The success rates of talent identification and development programmes have rarely been assessed and the validity of the models applied remains highly debated. A conceptual framework that acknowledges both genetic and environmental influences and considers the dynamic and multidimensional nature of sport talent needs to be developed and set in action.
