The module aims to examine the process of identifying and developing talent in sport, as well as contemporary approaches to recruitment.
In the first term, students are offered a series of lectures and practicals examining the literature and topical issues around talent development.
In the second half of the module, students utilise this underpinning knowledge in a more applied context for talent identification. Employing contemporary recruitment techniques, students have the opportunity to develop their ability to collect, analyse, and visualise technical and tactical performance to produce a scout report of a player/athlete from their sport of choice.
The overall aim of the module is to provide an understanding of methods, strategies and issues relevant to the processes of talent identification and development in sport.
On successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Critically evaluate talent identification and development systems within sport.
2. Demonstrate an applied understanding of the contemporary issues surrounding talent identification and development processes.
3. Apply industry-relevant methods to collect, analyse, and present technical and tactical data from sporting performance.
4. Demonstrate a conceptual and applied understanding of technical report writing of player and team performance.
5. Coherently present ideas in written and oral format.
