In support for the application of a multi-dimensional assessment approach to TID in team sports, Reilly, Williams, Nevill, and Franks (2000) proposed a battery of anthropo- metric, physiological, psychological and technical skill tests to identify talented junior soccer players. Their results demon- strated that talent identified juniors outperformed their non- talent identified counterparts in measures of agility, sprint time and anticipatory skill. Additionally, Nieuwenhuis, Spamer, and Van Rossum (2002) reported accuracy (defined as the correct classification of talent) of approximately 90% when applying a battery of outcome-based physical, technical and perceptual-cognitive performance tests in junior field hockey. This accuracy should be viewed against 75.9% reported by Keogh (1999) who applied a physically-biased TID testing battery in junior Australian football (AF). Although it is important to note the different sports when viewing this discrepancy, they are both field based and inva- sive, and thus the comparison is warranted. In doing so, it highlights the potentially enhanced TID accuracy generated through the assessment of multi-dimensional performance qualities, rather than singular elements (i.e., physical) used in isolation. Despite the promising findings reported by these earlier studies, a multi-dimensional assessment approach to TID is yet to be designed and applied in junior AF.
