The TALENT project offers an innovative approach to supporting young athletes who want to successfully combine a sports career with education. As a result of collaboration among seven European countries, the project's aim is to create a comprehensive system for the identification and development of sports talents.
Support, selection, and proper guidance of children toward the appropriate sport is one of the most important and challenging issues facing experts. Proper guidance enhances athletes' effectiveness, enabling them to effectively harness their potential in kinesiology activities that align with their anthropological specifics. The TALENT project focuses on establishing standards for recognizing sports talents, raising awareness about talents, and expanding the concept of dual careers for talented children aged 12 to 16.
