Accordingly, this study provides a detailed picture of effective goals and systems within talent development in a scholar sport context.

Data collection was based in semi-structured interview. When questioned on which factors characterize potential elite athlete, coaches considered (i) motivation, (ii) psychological behaviours, (iii) physical maturation, and, (iv) interests, as the most important, overlapping the technician aspects and physical skills of the athletes in an initial phase. To finish, the interviewed coaches do not use single methods to select and identify potential talents within their context."
