The document outlines a presentation on early sport specialization in children. It discusses the background on child specialization, importance of studying the topic, a critical evaluation of research findings, and practical applications and future research. The evaluation of research found that specializing too early can increase risks of burnout, injury and dropout. Most research recommends letting children sample sports during childhood for benefits later in life, rather than specializing too early before puberty.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Outline of Presentation
• Background to child specialisation within sport
• Importance to study
• Critical evaluation of research
• Practical applications of research findings
• Future research required/gaps in research
• Conclusion
• Reference list 2
3. Background
• What is early specialisation? Implies a focus or involvement in one
particular sport[4], involving a number of deliberate activities, skills or
drills[6, 14]. All with a goal of improving a child’s skills throughout their
childhood years[6].
• Regular participation in sport provides many physical, psychological, social
benefits to children[2, 8, 9, 10].
• Issues arise. Drop out for various reasons, lose interest and others stop
because of injuries
• Some sports specialise from an early age, but there are associated risks in
doing this, as there are with specialising in any sport[12].
3
4. Importance to Study
• A controversial topic. Cover some issues brought and the
benefits or risks a child takes by specialising in sport too
early.
• Proven that talent development involved with connecting
an athlete and a support system[10].
4
5. Evaluation of Research
• Found that development in performance is dependent on the ability to
acquire knowledge, characteristics and/or skills[9] throughout three
distinct stage of life[10, 14].
• The early years or ‘romance phase.’ Child develops a love and passion,
receiving encouragement, participation in unstructured play to explore
and having fun as well as succeeding[10].
• The middle years or ‘precision phase.’ Focus on skill development or
technical ability[10}.
• The ‘integration phase.’ Child continually works leading coach and
dedicates time to develop optimal performance or skills. Sacrifice and
realisation process takes place
5
6. • Phases take place over 15 - 20 years and each person moves through
phases progressively
• Mental abilities of the athletes doing this must also be advanced enough
to have these thought processes [9] and have ability to cope[12]
• Earlier specialisation started, faster and earlier burnout, have tendency to
get more injuries[3, 5, 10, 11, 12]. Other risks: overdependence and social
isolation[3, 12]. Reported children 10 years old, encouraged to specialise in
one sport, train all year round[5, 6, 11].
• Age of athletes attending and winning medals at the Olympic Games
getting younger, becoming general idea the younger an athlete specialises
the better[14].
6
7. • Advocates of early specialisation believe time spent doing deliberate
practice distinguishes future experts from non-experts[5].
• Big concern other research done shows athletic ability can’t be properly
identified prior to the onset of puberty[4, 10].
• The International Society of Sport Psychologists (ISSP) position stand: “To
Sample or to Specialize,” that promotes sustained participation as well as
elite performance[4].
• Children sampling a range of sports have a tendency to continue sport
recreationally in their teen years[5].
7
8. • Other studies found a negative relationship between early specialisation
and success later in careers. Seems the way to go: early exposure to a
range of sports and later intensify training to particular sport in mid to late
adolescence (appears optimal and critical time to specialise)[4].
• Number of studies mentioned the child specialising in sport, must have
motivation to want to learn, be disciplined and committed[1, 6, 7, 9].
• Question: how many children really know what sport they want to
explicitly succeed in for the rest of their lives?
? ? ? ?
Which sport to do??? 8
9. Practical Applications
1. Commitment to one sport brings a child into a complex world
regulated by adults. Setting that facilitates manipulation in a range of
areas from socialisation, to dietary, and commercialisation. Let
children sample a range of sports to reap the benefits later on in
life[12].
2. Most important thing is what’s best for the needs/wants of the child?
[14]
3. Instead of having a parent choose sport a child is to specialise in, let
them sample sports and make decision themselves when they are
ready.
• PARTICIPATION in sport not specialisation is the way to go!
9
10. Further Research
• More studies are needed to understand appropriate amount of training
without causing dropout, overtraining, injury and/or burnout. Study would
need to be both gender based (as each sex has different reason for
participating in sport), as well as be sport specific[4].
• Youth Olympics good place to start? Looking at the intricacies of youth
sport performance with main goal to help and protect the child athlete.
Study educates coaches in suitable strategies promoting skill
development, encouraging sport commitment and participation[4].
• Little research done on best way to train children, how much, how often
and the intensity of training, as well as appropriate modification of
competition formats.
10
11. Conclusion
• Early sport specialisation not recommended for children until onset
of puberty (usually around 12 or 13) as their bodies have not
started to fully develop. Nor are they necessarily in the head space
to pick up and be able to perform intricacies detrimental to sports
success
• Let children sample a range of sports during childhood in order for
them to reap the benefits later on in life
• Specialising in sports too early could lead to psychological issues[3,
13], overdependence and physical issues such a burnout with
possibility of discouraging children from participating in sport later
on
11
12. Take Home Thought
Have you or someone you know, either
knowingly or unknowingly, specialised in a
sport as a child?
