Talent Identification and Carding in Canadian Track and Field: Is Our System Empirically Supported?
DownloadSpring 2015
The body of sport-science literature on talent identification (TI) suggests it to be a multi-factoral process aimed at targeting athletes with the potential for success in sport. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed examination of Athletics Canada’s (AC) Athlete Assistance Program (AAP)...
