ELITE SPORTS DEVELOPMENT
What is the first word that comes to our mind when we hear the word 'ELITE'.Its exclusive,something at a highest level.In the same way if we want to make sports elite,certain points need to be kept in mind.In our country we will have to work very hard to take sports up to that level.India don't even have a separate sports ministry.In India 70% of the population is youth yet we lack in sports other than cricket.The problem is in the processing factors which contribute to the elite sports development.It is determined at three levels-Macro,Meso and Micro levels.Macro level involves strategic focus on athlete development,the Meso level involves direct policy interventions by sports governing bodies while micro level looks at the factors influencing individual athletes outside the control of policy makers.Elite sports development is not only necessary for sporting purposes but also for non sporting purposes like maintaining the international relationships with other countries.It provides a tool for identity projection,it boosts the tourism and hospitality industry of a country.Elite sports development is very important for any country and to achieve it there should be proper working at all the three levels.
