Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explored the extent of financial constraints experienced by athletes on the England Talent Pathway, as perceived by talent leads from various sports. Using a mixed-methods approach, 34 participants completed online surveys with 26 follow-up interviews. Findings showed the prevalence of financial constraints on individuals within the system, with three emerging themes: costs; demands on athletes; and potential funding support. “Pinch points”, causing the greatest severity of financial constraint, emerged further along the pathway and there were infrequent examples of mechanisms to identify talented athletes experiencing financial hardship. A means-tested system, premised on the demonstration of potential, is suggested by talent leads as a way of providing funding for athletes to ameliorate financial constraints in the future.

不能付钱，不能玩？人才领导者对运动员在英格兰人才之路中所经历的财务约束的看法*

摘要本研究探讨了运动员在“英格兰人才之路”中所经历的财务约束的程度，正如来自各种体育项目的人才领导者所感知的那样。采用混合方法，34名参与者完成了在线调查和26次后续访谈。调查结果显示，系统内个人普遍受到财务限制，有三个新出现的主题：成本；对运动员的要求；以及潜在的资金支持。“夹点”造成了最严重的经济约束，在这一过程中进一步出现，而且很少有机制来识别经历经济困难的天才运动员。人才领导建议建立一个以展示潜力为前提的经济状况调查系统，作为为运动员提供资金的一种方式，以改善未来的财政限制。

期刊介绍： High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
