Resumen

Introducción: Los organismos rectores, clubes y academias responsables del desarrollo de jóvenes podrían ser más eficaces y responsables en sus tareas si comprendieran los procesos de identificación y desarrollo de talento (IDT). Este estudio examinó la validación del TDEQ árabe, la evaluación de la calidad del TDE (el enfoque de desarrollo individualizado a largo plazo, el establecimiento de objetivos y el apoyo coherente, la preparación holística de la calidad).

Método: Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Entorno de Desarrollo de Talento (TDEQ-5), traducido al árabe, para obtener datos de 564 jóvenes futbolistas (319 hombres y 245 mujeres) de entre 12 y 18 años, pertenecientes a clubes y academias de toda Jordania. El análisis factorial exploratorio reveló una solución de tres factores con 26 ítems válidos y fiables (TDEQ-3 en árabe).

Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que el Enfoque Individualizado en el Desarrollo a Largo Plazo, el Establecimiento de Metas y el Apoyo Coherente fueron los factores con mayor puntuación en los EDT del fútbol jordano, mientras que la Preparación Integral de Calidad fue el factor con menor puntuación. En los tres factores, los hombres experimentaron entornos de mayor calidad que las mujeres. Los entrenadores deben mejorar el desarrollo de atributos psicológicos, la planificación y la claridad en torno a los requisitos de progresión, así como la comunicación con otros entrenadores.

Conclusiones: Este estudio puede servir como punto de partida para investigadores y profesionales de países árabes en sus investigaciones y evaluaciones de entornos de desarrollo de talento (EDT). En futuros trabajos, se deberían considerar los matices culturales al ampliar el Cuestionario de Entorno de Desarrollo de Talento (CEDT) al árabe.

Recomendación: La Federación de Fútbol de Jordania podría considerar ampliar el apoyo brindado a los equipos femeninos en diferentes edades. Mejorar las habilidades de los entrenadores para comunicarse con las mujeres y manejar el área de debilidad de estas jugadoras, ya que esto puede tener un impacto en el desarrollo de su talento.
