TALENT SPOTTING

Sports trainers while spotting talents among growing children should look for locomotor [movement]ability.Tests on this quality and other manipulative movement pattern should be evaluated on a very large number of children and the base line values developed, before assessing taking the cream of talents for a particular sport.Tests on short distance running,hopping,two legged jumping,backward running,two hand throwing at different directions,jump and turn in the air to 180/360 degrees and other similar exercises or in the form of a battery of tests can be administered to spot the talents and innate motor qualities periodically-and feed back given to parents,for a sustained motivation and transparency in the coaching process.
