Recommendations for pedagogic talent development within Dutch elite sports
A qualitative study on how the process of responsible pedagogic talent development can be improved for talents between 12-18 years of age in the Netherlands
Samenvatting
This study focuses on recommendations to improve responsible pedagogic talent development for talents between 12-18 years of age by getting more insight into the perceptions of talent coaches and supervisors within CTOs regarding their involvement in (pedagogic) talent development. The current talent development model of having a focus on merely sport needs revision. It is beneficial to have an ambition to have a top-ten position within the Olympic medal table for countries every four years, but the process of doing it pedagogically responsible and in a balanced way is equally important. This study contributes by addressing six points of interests, including shortcomings and their recommendations to keep the talent development responsible pedagogic and balanced. NOC*NSF may use this to revise their policy to create importance for the pedagogic process, as well for the prestigious end-result both in- and out of sport. After all, is talent development successful if a prestigious medal is achieved with an non-pedagogic irresponsible process?
