The aim of the present study was to examine the coaches and players’ perceptions of soccer-specific skills between players selected for national talent program born in the first half of the year compared to the players born in the second half of the year. A total of 753 elite male U 14 (N = 363) and U 13 players (N = 390) from 16 of 18 soccer regions in Norway participated. The results showed that players born early in the selection year considered themselves stronger and faster than late born players. Similar, coaches considered the players born early in the selection year stronger than players born late in the selection year. Neither the players or coaches considered the early born players as technically, tactically and mentally better. Within a talent development program, we argue that coaches and recruiters should be aware of differences in relative age, and thus prevent that late born players must compensate their physical disadvantages to be allowed into such programs. 2019 artículo científico 2414-6641 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=677873369016 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6778 Current Issues in Sport Science application/pdf Universität Bern Current Issues in Sport Science (Suiza) Vol.4 |
