The Development of Athletes in Different Sports

Abstract

This study seeks to identify effective methods for developing outstanding athletes. Through interviews and questionnaire surveys with supervisors, coaches, members of subordinate teams, and university sports clubs, it was found that the characteristics of subordinates of different sports vary. This study conducts interviews with supervisors of subordinate basketball and soccer teams and a university baseball club. Fifty-four samples were obtained from team members of one subordinate basketball team, one subordinate soccer team, and one university baseball club. Using a qualitative and quantitative approach, this study drew conclusions on the methods for the development of athletes in various sports. It also confirms that subordinate teams or university sports clubs have a positive influence on outstanding athlete development. The limitations of the study and topics for future research are also discussed.
