Abstract
The aim of the study is to provide more information on the self-regulation, goal motivation and the technical skills for talent identification. This study examined the selfregulation skills, the goal orientation and the soccer specific skills of the top and sub-top players, aged between 9 and 11. The top (n = 28) players and the sub-top (n = 23) players completed a questionnaire and three soccer specific field tests: the Shuttle Dribble Test, the Slalom Dribble Test and the Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT). The questionnaire measured the players level of self-regulation containing the subscales planning, monitoring, evaluation, reflection, effort and self-efficacy, and in addition the goal orientation including the ego and task subscales. The Manova of group effects showed a significant difference between the two groups. The playing level was the independent variable and therefore included as a factor. The different aspects of self-regulation and goal orientation, as well as the scores of the field tests were the dependent variables. The top players scored significantly better than the sub-top players on all the soccer field tests and in overall on 14 of the 18 variables. The three aspects planning, evaluation and effort appeared not to be significant different between the two groups, neither the ego orientation. This study established that the differences between top and sub-top players are already obvious at the age of ten. Furthermore, the players cannot only be identified on soccer specific skills as dribbling and passing, but also task orientation and the self-regulation aspects self-efficacy, monitoring and reflection should be part of the talent identification process.
