“…Often, the complex interplay of physiological, psychological and socioeconomic factors is not considered or quantified in many TI and TD processes even when it is generally accepted that certain psychological traits are characteristics found in a highly successful athlete 9. Abbott and Collins10 called for a continual monitoring system that accounts for psychobehavioural dispositions when identifying potential talent and its efficacy, which was documented in a group of Swiss youth footballers where those who reported a high level of intrinsic-achievement-orientation were more likely to be gain membership in the national team 11…”

Sport talent identification and development (TI and TD) in youth continues to attract strong interest among coaches, sport scientists and sport administrators. TI for sport in youth with the anticipation of future elite level sport achievement is both an art and a science, and is strongly influenced by within athlete and extraneous-to-athlete factors (ecosystem of support or the lack of). The returns from investment on current TI and TD models of sport in youth are subpar in that few continue in the sport to achieve podium positions at the elite sport level in adulthood. Why, where and how one succeeds in sport, and what that success means to the athlete and stakeholders are dependent on the culture and context of the country. We advocate harnessing the power of sport to help in youth development, to be holistic in its nurturance, to allow for individual idiosyncratic expressions of the athletes, to provide for talent transfer across sport, and to facilitate key stakeholders to 'join' hands to work for the common interest and understanding for as many youth and adults so as to provide them with opportunities through support and coaching to compete at the different levels of competition in sport. Governments, policy makers and administrators of sport must decide, within their specific circumstances, if TI and TD in sport in youth is serving a meaningful purpose and is a viable return on investment; in short, is it mission possible or is it… a quest for the Holy Grail for a podium finish in elite level sport competition?

“…Motivation is one of the driving forces underlying athletes' effort expenditure and dedication to their sport. 1,2 Athlete motivation can be nurtured by a wide variety of factors, including the true enjoyment and challenge of an activity but also more external rewards such as money, contingent regard from others, and media attention. Self-Determination Theory [3][4][5] presents different forms of motivation on a continuum of increasing self-determination, with intrinsic motivation representing the hallmark of volitional or autonomous functioning.…”

“…Additionally, extrinsic motivation has been split into four different levels: external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation and integrated regulation. Conceptual links between the self-determination theory and the achievement goal theory have been observed in several studies (Chin, et al, 2012;Ntoumanis, 2001;Zuber et al, 2015) demonstrating that task oriented individuals are more self-determined and more intrinsically motivated, whereas ego oriented individuals are less self-determined and more extrinsically motivated (Ntoumanis, 2001). Through an extensive quantitative review, found a significant and small to moderate relationship in meaningfulness between the task goal orientation and amotivation (r w =-.13), extrinsic motivation (r w =.20), external regulations (r w =.12), internal regulations (r w =.34) and intrinsic motivation (r w =.47).…”

“…Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) and the achievement goal theory (Nicholls, 1989) are two of the most common theoretical approaches to studying achievement motivation in sport and physical activity (Fenton, Duda, & Barrett, 2016;Zuber, Zibung, & Conzelmann, 2015).…”

Abstract:To better understand the relationship between aspects of motivation and performance level in adult football players, this study aimed to identify differences in motivation among different motivational profiles created by means of hierarchical cluster analysis. The participants were 304 adult football players (90 professionals, 144 semi-professionals, 70 amateurs, age: 25.4±4.6 years). Participants completed the Task and Ego Orientation in Sports Questionnaire and the Self-Regulation Questionnaire. Based on the constructs of the questionnaires, cluster analyses were performed. Chi-square was used to determine any relationships between the players and clusters. Four different clusters were identified. There was no typical motivational profile for football players of different competition levels. However, the differences in all four clusters represented specific characteristics of football players of different competition levels most represented in each respective cluster. Cluster 1, which was the most adaptive, was not related to any competition level. On the other hand, professional athletes were significantly less represented in the least adaptive motivational profile (Cluster 4). The results highlight the complex relationship between competition and sporting motivation. Identifying the motivational profile characteristics of football players who can reach higher competition levels presents itself as a future research opportunity.
