Abstract

This chapter provides insights into the roles and impacts of Skill Acquisition (SA) specialists embedded across the Talent identification and Development (TiD) pathway in Australia. Applied insights across Paralympic, Olympic and professional sports pathways provide coaches, SA specialists and National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) with examples of the value and impact an SA specialist can have on the development and refinement of their programs. Readers will gain insights across a range of themes, including the importance of immersion in performance contexts, application of SA principles in high-performance environments, as well as challenges and opportunities in test design.
