Doha, January 11, 2008 – An international gathering of sport scientists is set to meet at ASPIRE Academy for Sports Excellence in Doha next week in order to discuss updated research findings on new approaches, training methods and technologies to nurture sporting talents and to attain peak performance.


The conference - New Approaches for Advancement in Elite Sports – will bring together outstanding experts from around the world to Qatar to exchange ideas and discuss key issues related to youth development in elite sport.


Set to attract delegates from over 80 countries, the event will welcome VIP guests including Luiz Felipe Scolari, former Brazil and current Portugal national team coach, as well as Roger Milla, named as one of the 125 greatest living football players.


It will be the second major Sport Science Conference hosted by ASPIRE and organized by Prof. Dr. Dieter Hackfort, Dean of ASPIRE , a world-famous Sport Scientist and President of the International Society of Sport Psychology.


Developing talented athletes who can compete in elite sports is a global challenge, requiring the creation of talent selection processes as well as high-level support programs to ensure that young talent can sustain productive careers.


Amongst others, Qatar in particular has invested significantly in sporting infrastructure and talent development over the past decade – including the construction of new venues and sporting academies – and the conference provides a strong opportunity to review lessons learned to date.


Papers presented to delegates will examine the processes used to encourage early specialization for young athletes, as well as the advanced technology that is now being deployed for training and development.
