participation in a range of different sports, especially through childhood
development of a full range of skills and movements
develop a love of being physically active as well as enjoying individual sports.
Factors that influence an athletes’ development
biases in developmental environments (e.g., socioeconomic status) can influence access to resources and the quality of training
personal characteristics, such as the timing of growth and maturation
genetic factors
“Innate giftedness” can also influence the likelihood of successful athlete development
rate of skill progression
design of individual (multi-year) training plans/drills
