The project aims to gain a detailed understanding of the pathways that elite athletes follow on their way towards attaining peak performance. Episode 17 marks the second programme in a series featuring the notion of athletic excellence and innovation. Steven Hobé is joined in-studio by Melissa Hopwood, one of the lead researchers on this project. Melissa explains not only the process itself but how the information obtained will be used to provide recommendations relating to the conditions of sport participation and practice that are optimal for the development of sport expertise.
