  • Selection Criteria
    “Crysbro-NOC SL Next Champ” - Selection Criteria Target Group Athletes of potential for future success with an eye for 2022 and beyond, with an ultimate eye for a future Olympic medal. Category of Sports All within the Olympic domain Age group 15-16 years and will go up to 19-20 years under special circumstances by 2021 General Overview Primarily the selection process is rather futuristic and hypothetic. The reason, no one can predict that an athlete who is promising at the age of 15 could sustain the same intensity at 22-23 especially under local day-do-day life. Unlike in developed nations Sri Lanka lacks a proper system of youth development as result wilting talent is very common especially among the poorer segments of the society. The young athlete may have the “Fire in his/her belly” but the sustenance of the intensity is very challenging. Then in the middle-income group once again the challenge is different, but very community bound. The middle-income group athletes in the ages of 15-16 are about to sit for their Ordinary Level Examinations so they are in a severe dilemma choosing between studies and the sports. In this aspect the parents play a huge role in the young athletes’ future as a sportsperson. Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the role that the coach plays in the career of the athlete. When an athlete spurts-out to fame – making a major accomplishment i.e., Parami Wasanthi winning the Youth Olympic Bronze medal. The impact that was made in the aftermath was irritable for the athlete.
