It has lied outside the boundaries of thinking surrounding sports’ athletic talent development process. Accordingly, it has needed to become a more integrated part of sports’ process to help fill in the gaps in thinking that have and still to this day exist.
Early learning sports development is sports “outer” space. Without a designated place in sports process for its non-competitive theories and philosophies, a five year gap exists at the origins of sport. This makes sports process, as it is currently known to be incomplete, less a process and more a phenomenon.
