To identify performance characteristics that could help predict future elite field hockey players, we measured the anthropometric, physiological, technical, tactical, and psychological characteristics of 30 elite and 35 sub-elite youth players at the end of three consecutive seasons. The mean age of the players at the end of the first season was 14.2 years (s = 1.1). Repeated-measures analyses of covariance, with standard of performance and measurement occasion as factors and age as a covariate, showed that the elite players fared better than the sub-elite players on technical and tactical variables. Female elite youth players also scored better on interval endurance capacity, motivation, and confidence. Future elite players appear to have excellent tactical skills by the age of 14. They also have good specific technical skills and develop these together with interval endurance capacity better than sub-elite youth players in the subsequent 2 years. To verify our conclusions, we will be tracking these players into adulthood.
为了确定有助于预测未来精英曲棍球运动员的表现特征，我们在连续三个赛季结束时，对30名精英青年球员和35名次精英青年球员的人体测量学、生理学、技术、战术和心理特征进行了测量。第一个赛季结束时，球员的平均年龄为14.2岁（标准差 = 1.1）。以表现水平和测量时机为因素、年龄为协变量进行重复测量协方差分析，结果显示，在技术和战术变量方面，精英球员的表现优于次精英球员。女性精英青年球员在间歇耐力、动机和信心方面的得分也更高。未来的精英球员在14岁时似乎就具备出色的战术技能。他们还拥有良好的特定技术技能，并且在随后的两年中，与次精英青年球员相比，他们在发展这些技能的同时，间歇耐力的提升也更好。为了验证我们的结论，我们将跟踪这些球员直至成年。
