Abstract
Psychological factors play a crucial facilitating role in the process of deliberate practice and ultimately in reaching expert performance in sport. So far, research in this area on the psychological constructs selfregulated learning, motivation and goal orientation, tends to treat these constructs as distinct theoretical constructs. This study aimed to develop an integrated model of psychological constructs playing a role in talent development in sport. Therefore, relationships between self-regulated learning, motivation and goal orientation were examined, and how these constructs are related to deliberate practice and performance level in a sample of talent identified speed skaters (N=63). The results of the structural equation modeling revealed that task orientation and intrinsic motivation served as prerequisites for the self-regulated learning skills planning and reflection. The use of self-regulated learning skills lead to more deliberate practice and a higher performance level. To conclude, the present study supports the integrated view on psychological factors in talent development, and underlines the importance of planning and reflection as self-regulated learning skills to reach expert performance in sport. These findings are relevant for practical implications in talent development.
