It is composed of 10 distinct events contested over 2 days. Using event\u2010specific coefficients, marks are converted to scores, which sum to produce an overall score. Ten events that share some underlying features, but also some disparate features, create a challenge for coaches and sports administrators in identifying potential elite talent and developing it optimally across the career. In this investigation, decathletes were profiled on the basis of keeping performances \u22656400 points and including only those participants who competed in \u22654 years \n. Using gamma generalized linear regression models, the first\u2010season best mark and improvement in each event were related to all\u2010time career best. Coefficients were compared to infer priorities for elite decathlete selection (using first\u2010season best marks in each event) and development (using the delta or improvement in each event). These data show that the most crucial event for identifying an athlete with a future potential elite all\u2010time career best is the pole vault, followed by the javelin throw, long jump and shot put. For optimal career development, the data suggest athletes obtain the most return by focusing on improvement in the pole vault and long jump.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1113\/ep091921","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,9]],"date-time":"2025-01-09T14:39:11Z","timestamp":1736433551000},"page":"1672-1681","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Predicting high\u2010performance decathlon career best"],"prefix":"10.1113","volume":"110","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-6595-0437","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"(he\/him\/hi","given":"Perry","family":"Battles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"H.H.
