Developing world Class Sportspersons - Skill gap assessment
- 1. Developing World Class Sportspersons An approach to understand the Skill Gap in Indian Sports Industry by Sumit Mathur 5th Feb 2013
- 2. Approach Identification of factors that contribute to a sports person’s success Determination of nature of gaps – Skill, Knowledge, Financial, Support, other factors on a broad based level Classification of these gaps based on impact, costs and timelines
- 3. Factors for Success SUCCESS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY EXPOSURE & EXTERNAL SUPPORT AND CAPABILITY OPPORTUNITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE PHYSICAL TALENT ADMINISTRATION ATTRIBUTES IDENTIFICATION INDUSTRY PREPAREDNESS FACILITATION FOR PARTICIPATION FAMILY-FRIENDS RECOGNITION SOCIETY MEDIA Please click here for a detailed assessment → Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet

Editor's Notes
- India has produced few sports persons who have achieved the pinnacle of success over the decades. However, India struggles to be identified as a nation of sporting talent despite its huge population base. Sustainable sporting achievements across the world come not only from the developed countries but also from the underdeveloped and developing nations. Here’s an attempt to put together a framework to determine the gaps in the Indian sports industry.
- The attempt is to identify the factors on a 360 degree basis, that lead to sporting successes and thereby to identify gaps which can then be classified by impact, costs and timelines. Some gaps have a quick and direct impact on the sportspersons and are likely to affect their performance immediately . Other gaps may have slow and indirect influence originating from the psyche of the society where the sporting talent is groomed and encouraged, affecting their performance in the long term.
- Key factors for sporting success are definitely individual brilliance, the exposure and opportunities provided to the sportspersons and the overall sporting infrastructure that guides and provides support in the long run. A detailed breakdown of these factors and an attempted classification is available in the appendix.
- It is recommended that we may explore the market through primary research with the key groups that associate closely with sports persons, to validate the key factors and identify the addressable gaps in the short term A larger roadmap for a sustainable winning ecosystem can then be created through understanding of how some of the developing nations like China, SE Asian countries have gone about developing it.
- A review of responses from these target groups could lead to a better understanding of actual gap areas and also possibly give insights into planning the detailed research for analysis and preparation of a strategic roadmap for Skill – Gap Bridging.
- Detailed primary research , comprising of interviews and GDs with renowned sports professionals , industry analysts ,sports regulators and academicians can help to ascertain certain quantitative requirements. An Example for quantitative estimation : A way to approach assessing the deficit in the no. of Sports Trainers, Physiotherapists and Doctors/Medics quantitatively could be to consider two levels of sports related training-coaching. One at the schooling (formal education) level and other at specialized sports training level. In India, in the coming years, primary education shall be made mandatory. A starting point could thus be estimating the minimum requirement for Sports trainers-Coaches and Medics from the no. of registered Primary , Secondary and Tertiary educational institutes in India. Lets assume these are X, Y and Z respectively. Assuming the least positive scenario, there may be 1 certified sports trainer- coach per institute at each level, 1 certified physio – medic per n schools at primary level and 1 physio-medic per school at secondary and tertiary level. Thus a minimum of X+Y+Z physical trainers-mentors and X/n + Y+ Z physio-medics are required based on schools alone. Next, lets assume Specialized Sports coaching Centers are available in metros, tier 1 & Tier 2 cities of India. Assuming A centers, a trainers /center and m0 medics/center,p0 Physios / center per metro cluster. Similarly assuming B ,b,m1 ,p1 per Tier 1 City , C,c,m2,p2 per Tier 2 City , Dd,m3 ,p3 per Tier 3 city then No. of trainers-mentors required T= T0*A*a+T1*B*b+T2*C*c+T3*D*d Similarly no. of Physios required P = T0*A*a*po+T1*B*b*p1+T2*C*c*p2+T3*D*d*p3 And no. of Medics required M = T0*A*a*mo+T1*B*b*m1+T2*C*c*m2+T3*D*d*m3 Summing the requirements from education institutes and from specialized sports training centers would give an estimate of the minimum requirement of these professionals. Then there’s a requirement for training and knowledge-skill up gradation of these professionals. Through primary research such nos. as Nt trainers’ trainers, Np Physios’s instructors and Nm Medics’ trainers could be estimated. Data of the registered no. of Sports Trainers, Physio Therapists and Medics with the sports Governing bodies and associations, Medical Council Of India and other relevant sources could help in estimating this gap. More detailed research could help in understanding the variances.
- Valuable information can be found if we consider superior Olympic games performance as our goal. Information from the Indian Education System (primary , secondary, vocational, professional etc) , the global and Indian healthcare industries and the Olympic Games could bring out answers to several of the gaps identified earlier.
