Talent Identification

Talent identification. A concept dating back to Greek philosophers, now as it was then, is about the ability to identify talent in  different contexts. The ability to identify talent has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It has long been considered a crucial parameter for success in sport, but has spread to different contexts such as education, business, and culture. Until recently,  research on talent identification (particularly in sports) has been predominantly concerned with finding a recipe for identifying talent  in formal circumstances, such as talent testing. However, talent identification is much more than that. Rather, talent identification  should be seen as something everyone practices to some extent. Every day. All the time. This book provides an insight into talent identification and puts forward new ways of understanding and approaching talent  identification.
