Developing the young athlete
Posted On Tuesday, 08th February 2011 at 06:27
One of the best projects I have been associated with is the South West Talent group. The idea is to look at developing athlete's backgrounds, pick the ones with a varied sporting background who are later maturers, and then support them with training and measurement over a few years.
The athletes come from many different sports in the South West. Whilst some have fallen by the wayside- mainly from thinking it was another free t-shirt without realising the commitment required- the ones who have been training regularly have progressed immensely.
An example of the results in action can be seen here with Dom Hinchcliffe (#12) playing with Taunton Tigers under 16s.
