To increase the likelihood of the assessment session to be representative of the competitive environment, researchers have suggested the use of a representative learning design as a theoretical framework. Sports Sci. thats talked about so much and never developed! This assessment was 97% successful in identifying talented youth players and was suggested to be a more time efficient and ecologically valid way to identify talented players. National Academy of Sports Medicine. The use of constraints (e.g., two consecutive touches per possession) in small-sided games can enable the task to more accurately replicate match play (Almeida et al., 2012). Skill and physiological demands of open and closed training drills in Australian football. They found different player numbers produced different technical and physical responses. Mot. (2009).

Furthermore, these settings eliminate the ability of the athlete to demonstrate their competence in anticipation, problem solving and attention, which consequently affects their ability to execute their skill proficiently (Falk et al., 2004; Lidor et al., 2009). For example, coaches will vary environmental conditions such as the playing area, practice objectives, and rules of play to ensure players are performing enough skill executions (Davids et al., 2013a).

Movement models from sports reveal fundamental insights into coordination processes. Performance profiling can be an effective tool in raising the individuals self-awareness of their current ability and enhancing adherence to different programmes of intervention (Butler et al. 38, 7985. Registered in England & Wales No. 9, 561566. (2000). NB: conceptual idea and writing of article. Collectively these studies would imply early maturers are being selected based more upon physical statue rather than skill proficiency.

Due to the scarcity of representative validity within these assessments it is plausible to suggest the results obtained may not accurately identify all talented players and may produce results different from match play.

The need for representative task design in evaluating efficacy of skills tests in sport: a comment on Russell, Benton and Kingsley (2010). Predicting playing status in junior Australian football using physical and anthropometric parameters. Australian football requires a high level of physical ability in combination with technical skill and decision making ability. Whilst physiological capabilities are important in the game of Australian football, ball possession, and technical skill proficiency have been shown to be greater influences on match outcomes (Robertson et al., 2016). 5, 113117. This helps to establish a more secure relationship between the two parties, by gaining an understanding of each of their expectations for the process. Living 2:612067. doi: 10.3389/fspor.2020.612067. Team sport athletes are well-rehearsed with intended movement patterns. 38, 24302436. 7, 157167. By expanding the profiling systems and making them integrated, multi disciplinary and looking at the whole player from the 6 P perspective, we have a better chance of finding, recruiting and retaining the right players. If applied correctly, these interventions can help focus the individual on the key aspects of their performance and help direct their training to the areas of perceived need. Interestingly, the main indicator correlating with the derived team impact score was effective long kicks (Heasman et al., 2008) with previous research finding similar results (Stewart et al., 2007).

A similar result was found in rugby players. When comparing experienced and less experienced players in Australian football, the experienced players had more skill involvements during the second and fourth quarters (in peak 3-min block) and performed technically and physically better following peak periods of match play than their counterparts (Black et al., 2016). Ultimately, the players must accept the responsibility for winning or losing the big games at the end of the season but it is the responsibility of the non-playing members of the team to make sure the players are ready: physically, mentally, technically and tactically to win when it matters.
