In general, well-being refers to living a more fulfilling life and the theoretical concept has been established in the field such as psychology, economics, and sociology. Several issues related to mental health such as depression and eating disorders are surfacing in elite athletes. However, the definition of athlete well-being was not clear and the concepts related to athlete well-being needed to be theoretically validated. Thus, the aim of the study was to conduct a narrative review of athlete well-being to achieve consensus among international and national experts on the relevant concepts of mental health, wellness, dual career, and athlete lifestyle. It was found that the concepts related to well-being and mental health in sport have not been clearly defined in the literature. The experts agreed on the definition of athlete well-being, the scope of dealing with mental health, and the holistic support required for elite athletes. Further studies are needed to fully understand the current status of athlete well-being in Japanese elite athletes and also to develop the diagnostic tools and other measurement scales which can be used in practice.

独立行政法人日本スポーツ振興センター(JSC)と連携する地域タレント発掘・育成(TID)事業は、現在、24地域にまで拡大している。こうした中、平成25年度に立ち上げた全国規模のナショナルタレント発掘・育成(NTID)プログラムでは、将来性の豊かな人材と優れたコーチを出会わせるため、「発掘・検証・育成」の3つの段階がある。発掘においては、種目適性型、種目選抜型、種目最適(転向)型の3つのモデルがあり、コーチの眼のみならず、科学的分析を行っている。この段階では、エビデンスに基づいた測定項目の選定やワールドクラスの選考基準の設定が求められる。検証においては、成長率の算出等を通してポテンシャル(潜在力)を見極めている。育成においては、目標大会から逆算して設定した最低水準(ベンチマーク)に対するパフォーマンスを追跡している。平成28年度には、オリンピック・パラリンピック一体型発掘プログラムを開発し、クラス分けと科学的測定によるパラリンピック選手の発掘も開始した。最終的には、暦年齢よりも生物学的アプローチを通して、エビデンスを蓄積しながらオリンピック・パラリンピックパスウェイの構築を目指す。

The uniqueness of Paralympic sport or para-sport is evident in the practical tasks necessary for athletes with physical disabilities to participate in para-sport and to continue to being involved. Classification is also an unique system to promote para-sport participation by minimizing the impact of impairment on the outcome of competition. Thus, the inclusive and quality participation framework is needed, and the classification system is the integral part of the process of athlete development in para-sport. The aim of the study was to conduct an environmental scan in para-sport and discuss talent identification and development for Japanese Paralympic athletes. The National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) program in Olympic sport was strategically implemented by Japan Sport Council (JSC) in 2012 as a new national project to identify, confirm, and develop pathways of medal potential athletes. Before implementing the NTID program in para-sport, the 3C’s (Customer, Company, and Competitor) model was used as a marketing tool to analyze the current sporting environment in para-sport. Based on the current analysis, a biological and inclusive approach was taken in NTID by considering sports science testing and classification for para sports etc. Ten athletes were identified by National Federations from 56 participants over 2 years from 2017 to 2018, and they are currently aiming to become future medalists. Ultimately, NTID is an entry point to high performance sport and is a part of whole of the athlete development pathway for Japanese Paralympic athletes. In future, JSC will continue to work on talent identification and development programs with key stakeholders by integrating Olympic sport and para-sport to promote participation and increase the talent pool in para-sport.

The Intelligence and Scientific Support team of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) surveyed all JOC-Athletes Targeted for Olympic High Performance (n=995) on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020. The athletes responded to a web-based questionnaire. This study analyzed psychological stress responses and communication status from questionnaire data collected from identical participants using similar methods to the JOC Athlete Survey Part-1 (Sugita et al., 2021). Results indicated that summer sports athletes had significantly higher stress responses than winter sports athletes. Moreover, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) score suggested that the proportion of summer sports athletes suffering from psychological distress (K6≧13) exceeded 10%. Mental health of summer sports athletes might have deteriorated due to the psychological impact of postponing the Tokyo 2020 Games. The stress response and mental health scores were positively correlated with stressors and negatively correlated with stress coping ability (Sense of Coherence: SOC). We speculate that reducing stressors associated with self-restraint and improving individual athletes' SOC might reduce stress responses and maintain or improve their mental health. Furthermore, the lack of communication between the athletes and their teammates and the coaches was indicated, especially during the state of emergency. Therefore, more holistic support activities for providing psychological support to Japanese elite athletes with mental health concerns using communication technologies, including videos and web conferences, might be required in the future.

Talent identification & development (TID) has been positioned as an important measure of sport policy from the viewpoint of high performance sport. TID at the national level has been evolving in various countries including United Kingdom (UK) and Australia. Japan Sport Council (JSC) currently supports three TID models throughout the entire country: multi-sports, target sports, and transfer sports. A local TID (LTID) project on the multi-sports model was first introduced in Fukuoka prefecture in 2004. After 13 years, the LTID project has been expanded to 26 prefectures. The Japanese National TID (NTID) programme was strategically implemented by JSC in 2012 as a new national project. NTID provides opportunities and choices toward talented local athletes to create various Olympic and Paralympic pathways for potential medallists. Many countries establishing sustainable athlete development pathways highlight the need to continue being innovative and evidence-based in the approach to ensure that Japan stays at the front of this rapidly evolving field in high performance sport.

After the literature review, there are various models of athlete development pathway, but the international framework, FTEM (Foundation, Talent, Elite, Mastery), is a useful framework for understanding the stages of athlete development from grassroots to the podium with practical application by National Federations (NFs). We propose an inclusive and evidence-informed framework “The Japanese FTEM”. The unique framework is applicable nationally to the whole of sport for bridging the gap between theory and practice of athlete development by taking into account the cultural and social context in Japan. The Japanese FTEM is an inclusive and evidence-informed framework in which sport and athlete development are integrated. It can be used as a guide for practitioners of athlete development such as NFs to co-design a sport-specific mid- to long-term development plan for sustainable success.

Establishment of the Athlete Development System (ADS) has been positioned as an important effort of the success in high performance sport. The review paper summarized the initiatives of the gov-ernments and national sport organizations to establish the ADS after the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games. Also, we analyzed the current situation of the ADS in Japan. As a result, the definition of the ADS has changed from explaining a direct relationship between training volume/intensity and performance to taking a systematic approach incorporating many factors related to the ADS. Since 2010, each na-tional sport organization has formulated a medium to long-term strategic plan. However, we need to reaffirm that the current strategic plan is focusing on the final stage of achieving medals at major competitions. We suggest that the quality and effectiveness of each of sport organization is positioned as an important effort of the success in high performance sport. The review paper summarized the initiatives of governments and sport organizations’ youth programs, which are the foundation for the success at the senior level. If the national sport organizations were not able to improve their athlete development pathway program, it would not lead to the sustainable ADS in the near future. Therefore, looking ahead to 2020 and beyond, each sport organization needs to establish a unique Japanese athlete development framework by considering the background of Japanese society.
