The Athletic Skills Model offers an alternative to dominant talent
development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement
education, focusing on health and wellbeing. It places the emphasis
on 'physical intelligence' - including attributes such as agility,
flexibility and stability - through adaptable and varied training
programmes, creating a skilled athlete before introducing sport
specialization. The book sets out the scientific underpinnings of
the ASM before going on to offer practical guidance on the content
of the programme, how to adapt and vary the programme, and how to
apply the approach to different age groups and sports. The ASM's
application in the youth development programme at AFC Ajax is
explored in depth, before a future of talent development with an
emphasis on athletic, rather than sport-specific, expertise is
imagined. The Athletic Skills Model introduces an important and
timely challenge to conventional wisdom in talent development and
is a fascinating read for any upper-level student or researcher
interested in youth development, skill acquisition, motor learning
or sports coaching, and any coaches wanting to refresh their
approach to talent development.
