Our Special Issue on Talent Identification and Development in Sport is now live!
🔗 tandfonline.com/toc/rjsp20/4…
This was an enjoyable issue to work on, and appreciated the opportunity to act as a guest editor with @mjreevesphd, @AdamKelly07 and @JamesDugdale
We hope this collection stimulates further discussion, research and reflection on how we identify, develop and support talented athletes across diverse sporting contexts.
A link to the editorial, which is open access:
