Sports talent scouts’ decisions are influenced by various common cognitive biases that can affect their work and undermine team success, a paper published in the International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology has suggested.

They then identified 38 biases with a high likelihood of affecting talent identification and selection in sports and created a framework that grouped them into clusters.
