\"Understanding<\/a><\/p>\n

In any discussion about sporting events, the word talent comes up, but what does it really mean? Often the concept of talent is not particularly well understood, particularly when evidence doesn’t seem to support it being a natural process.<\/p>\n

The Talent Team at the sport<\/strong>scotland institute of sport have developed a film (screenshot pictured) which hopes to help people to understand the concept of \u2018sporting talent\u2019. It is aimed primarily at young athletes (11 \u2013 17) but is also very relevant to those who influence them \u2013from their coaches and teachers to parents, peers, neighbours and role models. The film is available at http:\/\/youtu.be\/LfUvchfrcS0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hope is that young athletes can gain a new perspective on what \u2018talent\u2019 really means and ultimately encourage them to work hard at their sports. The message is simple \u2013 hard work and determination can lead to sporting success.<\/p>\n
