The Number one desired quality that talent scouts look for in elite sports men

[CQ SAINT]

Ability across multiple sports.

[Yorkeys]

Elite skills in the sport. Then educated and no drug history. Of course being uncontracted and having naïve parents/guardians would help. I don't believe the people on the panel would give away serious trade secrets and its something impossible to isolate/generalise on given the myriad of trade offs once talent is established. Talent has to be the non negotiable, they know the story of the sows ear - no matter how ruthless the piggy is.

[Sainter_Dad]

Arrogance

Smarts
Drive
Humility

They are the 3 proven traits required for a loyal and excellent employee

[Harves Man]

Unshakable self-belief. Bet each way maybe: determination.

Not quite... but the closest so far

Both determination and self-belief when things are not going well/in face of adversity?

[George27]

The patience to wait over 24 hours to get the answer to a tantalising question.

I do not have that quality. Come on mate, what is the answer ?

[Saint 58]

Yes tell us please, I’m getting tired of checking the last post !

[BackFromUSA]

Surely this is baiting!

Why aren’t the mods doing their job?

[Jacks Back]

Not a misogynist
