It emphasizes “physical intelligence” attributes such as agility, flexibility, and stability, using adaptable and varied training before sport specialization. The book outlines scientific foundations, provides practical guidance on program content and adaptation, and shows applications in youth development at AFC Ajax, envisioning athletic rather than sport-specific expertise.","􀀳e Athletic Skills Model  \nThe 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 a􀂬ributes su􀂫 as agility, flexibility and stability – through adaptable and varied training programmes, creating askilled athlete before introducing sport specialization.  \n􀂹e book sets out the scientific underpinnings of the Athletic Skills Model (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 approa􀂫 to different age groups and sports. 􀂹e 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 sportspecific, expertise is imagined.  \nThe Athletic Skills Model introduces an important and timely 􀂫allenge to conventional wisdom in talent development and is a fascinating read for any upper-level student or resear􀂫er interested in youth development, skill acquisition, motor learning or sports coa􀂫ing, and any coa􀂫es wanting torefresh their approa􀂫 to talent development.  \nRené Wormhoudt is the co-founder of the Athletic Skills Model (ASM), the Athletic Skills Tra􀂪 and Skills Garden, the Netherlands.
