- Becoming an Elite Performer
- social and cultural factors
- whether performers have support from family and friends - giving emotional support
- there school/uni experience - whether schools had a strategy to encourage talented individual to become elite
- whether there's infrastructure to develop e.g. club access and talent identification programmes
- level of media coverage a sport gets e.g. a lot of coverage = more role models = higher participation levels
- anti-discriminationpolicies allowing equal opportunities for everyone
- characteristics of an effective talent identification programme
- widespread testing programme e.g. all ages
- Knowledgeable = high quality scouts/coaches to spot talent
- High quality testing of physiological and psychological skills
- database for comparison
- Co-ordination between organisations
- structured competition for progression routes
- Barriers to progression
- social class - lack of financial support = a barrier. Some sports provide financial support = progression to elite level = easier than in other sports where there's little funding
- disability - 9% of those with disabilities compete in sports. They have a lack media coverage = less well known = less role models
- Ethnic differences - UK African or Caribbean individual stereotyped to have a physiological advantage in sports requiring speed and power. Over representation in certain sports e.g. football and underrepresentation in others such as tennis
- Gender - fewer women reach top level. Even when women reach the top level they're paid less. Media focuses on appearance not performance. Not feminine to have a 'muscley' body
