Abstract
First paragraph:
In their International Olympic Committee Consensus Statement, Bergeron et al. (2015) suggest that the goal of sport is clear, to:
Develop healthy, capable and resilient young athletes, whilst attaining wide-spread, inclusive, sustainable participation and success for all levels of individual athletic achievement.
The premise of this book, however, is that talent development programmes usually fail to achieve this goal. Reasons for such failures relate not only to the fallibilities of humans but also to the complexity of human adaptation.
