The Athletic Skills Model : Optimizing Talent Development Through Movement Education
The Athletic Skills Model offers an alternative to dominant talent development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement education, focusing on health and wellbeing.It places the emphasis on ‘physical intelligence’ – including attributes such as agility, flexibility and stability – through adaptable and varied training programmes, creating a skilled athlete before introducing sport specialization. The book sets out the scientific underpinnings of the ASM before going on to offer practical guidance on the content of the programme, how to adapt and vary the programme, and how to apply the approach to different age groups and sports.The ASM’s application in the youth development programme at AFC Ajax is explored in depth, before a future of talent development with an emphasis on athletic, rather than sport-specific, expertise is imagined. The Athletic Skills Model introduces an important and timely challenge to conventional wisdom in talent development and is a fascinating read for any upper-level student or researcher interested in youth development, skill acquisition, motor learning or sports coaching, and any coaches wanting to refresh their approach to talent development.

What are hard skills and soft skills?
Hard skills are specific, teachable abilities or knowledge that can be easily quantified, such as technical skills like coding, data analysis, or foreign language proficiency. Soft skills, on the other hand, are more subjective and harder to quantify, focusing on interpersonal skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. While hard skills are essential for performing specific tasks, soft skills are crucial for effectively working with others and navigating complex social situations in the workplace. Both types of skills are important for success in any job.
-
How do subject-specific skills and social skills develop?
Subject-specific skills develop through practice, repetition, and exposure to the relevant content. For example, a student develops math skills through solving problems and learning new concepts. Social skills, on the other hand, develop through interaction with others, such as communication, cooperation, and empathy. Both types of skills can be nurtured through formal education, as well as through real-world experiences and social interactions.

Instead of hard skills, soft skills are taught in school.
