Elite youth sport competitions have increased significantly in
number in recent years, with the Youth Olympic Games representing
the high point of this phenomenon. This book examines the global
context within which elite youth sport has emerged and continues to
grow. It explores elite youth sport policy across fifteen
countries, in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, addressing the
questions of how youth talent development is organised and why
elite youth sport has become so popular. Taking a comparative
global perspective, the book analyses the growth in more systematic
approaches to young athlete development and the increasing emphasis
on early talent identification. It discusses the attitude of
stakeholders (such as NGBs, governments and sponsors) towards elite
youth sport, while also considering how young elite athletes'
interests are protected and how the growth in elite youth sport
affects a sport's development strategy. Written by a team of
internationally renowned researchers, Elite Youth Sport Policy and
Management: A comparative analysis is fascinating reading for all
students, scholars, managers, policy-makers and coaches with an
interest in youth sport, elite sport development, talent
identification and sports policy.
