Abstract

This chapter outlines the complexities involved with designing and delivering pathways to elite or high performance. It discusses the input of various organisations and people who deliver athlete pathways. The chapter explains the increased sophistication and professionalisation of high performance management have led to countries' successes at World Championships and Olympic Games. The non-linear nature of sport development pathways that allow participants to enter, exit or re-enter at various levels of participation. These organisations include governments, NOCs, NGBs, clubs and universities. People include coaches, volunteers, umpires, administrators, managers, high performance managers, sports scientists, sport medicine staff, family members and even friends. High performance sport development pathway variations are also evident depending on a sport's professionalised status. Golf and tennis, for instance, are professional sports that operate in a system where private coaches or academies offer alternatives to the publicly provided athlete development pathways.
