Abstract

The article presents response of readers to a question asked in the January 2004 issue of the journal Joperd. The question was related to identifying sport talent by physical education teachers. One of the readers believes that if a student shows an above-normal talent in skills that are necessary for a specific sport, then a teacher should to help the student with the talent in developing their skills. Another reader contradicts this view saying that physical education teachers should not have any role in the identification of sport talent.
