The Revisionist History Wharton School Relative Age Effect Experiment
We are citizens of a country that cares more about hockey excellence than anything else. The inspiration for the revisionist history Wharton School relative age effect experiment came to me when I was talking to Adam Kelly, former footballer turned university professor. Kelly is a disciple of Roger Barnsley. He works with sports leagues to help them solve their age-related problems. Like England's Basketball Federation, which spent a small fortune setting up regional centres to identify promising players. We looked at the proportion of players who were selected into those talent centres across the nation. Those who were born in birth quarter one were 10 times more likely to be selected ten times. Exactly. And we're fusing to learn.
