How can nations improve their chances of winning medals in international sport? This book deals with the strategic policy planning process that underpins the development of successful national elite sport development systems. Drawing on various international competitiveness studies, it examines how nations develop and implement policies that are based on the critical success factors that may lead to competitive advantage in world sport. An international group of researchers joined forces to develop theories, methods and a model on the Sports Policy factors Leading to International Sporting Success (SPLISS). The book presents the results of the large-scale international SPLISS-project. In this project the research team identified, compared and contrasted elite sport policies and strategies in place for the Olympic Games and other events in 15 distinct nations. With input from 58 researchers and 33 policy makers worldwide and the views of over 3,000 elite athletes, 1,300 high performance coaches and 240 performance directors, this work is the largest benchmarking study of national elite sport policies ever conducted. The nations taking part in SPLISS are: • Americas: Brazil and Canada • Asia: Japan and South Korea • Europe: Belgium (Flanders & Wallonia), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland • Oceania: Australia

This book is about biathlon; explaining what it is; what it takes and how it's done; and an historical perspective of the sport in the United States. Biathlon is a unique modern Winter Olympic sport and generally unknown by the American public. Unlike the familiar sports that are played out on athletic fields and gymnasiums across the American landscape, biathlon takes place in a relatively few locations, during the cold winter environment and with few spectators. "Biathlon" is unique in sports and participant success requires the pinnacle of physiological fitness as well as the calmness required for solid accuracy. Although the combined concept of skiing and marksmanship can be traced to prehistoric Scandinavia its role in military planning and strategies came at a much later time and it can be said that the early Scandinavian military ski troops are the true origins of this modern-day exciting sport.It has its roots in a form of human survival where the ability to survive in the natural world depended on one's adeptness to overcome the lack of natural protection and to avoid extinction through strength, endurance, agility and intelligence.Biathlon skills gradually became a genuine international competition in the form of the military patrol race. Because of their training and fitness value patrol competitions started in the Soviet Union and other nations by 1924, and entered the Winter Olympic games in that year. Because of post WW II anti-war sentiments, it was temporarily dropped from the Winter Olympic Games, and then reinstated in 1960. Between 1948 and 1960, however, Biathlon competitions did not disappear, but continued to be popular in Switzerland and Scandinavian countries. This book is also a tribute to the small group of dedicated participants, coaches, administrators and supporters who made contributions to its evolution from its beginning to the dynamic and exciting sport that it is today.

Over the last twenty years or so there has been a sharp increase in interest from national sports federations and governments in the development of effective elite sport systems, particularly focused on achieving success in the summer and winter Olympic Games. Many countries now have publicly funded elite sports strategies which provide specialist facilities and support staff and often provide direct financial support for athletes. These developments have stimulated academic interest in describing the elite sport systems, analysing the processes by which policy is established and evaluating the impact of these policies on elite athlete success. Far less attention has been placed on the operation of the elite sports systems and on how the system interfaces with the athlete. The aim of this book is to refocus attention on the management and operation of systems designed to deliver elite success. The book draws on the theoretical literature in implementation, organisation theory, leadership and complexity. This provides an initial context for analysis and a stimulus for theory development around key questions such as: How do coaches manage their relationship with athletes? How does talent identification operate in practice? Do coaches fulfil the role of gatekeeper between the athlete and other elements of the sports system e.g. sports science support? How do managers, support staff and athletes interpret the expectations placed on them? The first part of the book focuses on aspects of the effectiveness of elite sports systems and the second explores aspects of systems operation focused on the interface between the athlete and the sport development system, and cross-cutting themes within the book include the management of talent identification and coach development. This is illuminating reading for any student, researcher or practitioner working in sport development, sport management or sports coaching.
