Keeping it real: Fidelity as a heuristic device to scale activity design in sport coaching
Background Activity design is a widely explored aspect of a sport coach’s role, understood as the informed choices related to the content, structure, and sequencing of participant activities, with the aim of facilitating learning. Across various theoretical stances, concepts such as specificity and representative practice design, there is near-universal support for increasing emphasis on the realism of activity design to enhance skill transfer an…
Game is the teacher? Understandings and misunderstandings of games-based approaches
Background: Games-based approaches (GBA) have emerged as popular approaches to team sport coaching in recent decades. Despite the widespread adoption of GBA in some coaching populations, misinterpretations have arisen through both mediated and unmediated learning channels. This has the potential to detract from implementation, despite a significant body of research from multiple theoretical perspectives.Purpose: Given the popularity of GBA in the…
Cross-linguistic influence in Japanese-English spoken word recognition: Bidirectional phonological, semantic, and cognate frequency effects
This study investigated cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in spoken word recognition in a typologically distinct language pair. Japanese–English bilinguals performed auditory lexical decision tasks in both L1 (Japanese) and L2 (English), presented in counterbalanced order, responding to cognates varying in cross-linguistic overlap and to matched nonwords. This design allowed direct comparison of L1 and L2 processing within the same individuals. Re…
Always ready to learn: Understanding the learning biographies of expert academy football coaches
For over three decades, sport coaching scholars have critiqued formal coach learning. Coaches are widely understood to place greater value on informal and non-formal learning. Despite this, coach education experiences have remained the focal point of investigation. Located in a wider research project investigating coaching expertise, this study examined the learning biographies of expert coaches working in Premier League category one academies. I…

Monism and heterogeneity: A plural grounding solution
Priority monism has been criticised on the grounds that monists cannot give an informative story about how the world is heterogeneous: how can there be qualitative variation in the world, given we cannot explain the world’s qualitative variation in terms of its proper parts? I will argue that none of the traditional solutions to this problem are plausible, and instead argue that we should hold that what accounts for the world’s heterogeneity is t…
Coaching adaptive skill and expertise in Premier League football academies—paving a way forward for research and practice
Within the domain of coach education researchers have long called for a paradigm shift, whereby the quality of coaching practice is no longer measured against a checklist of prescribed competencies. This desire to evolve coach education and development, has been aligned to the need to better identify, understand and utilise what adaptive skill and expertise looks, sounds and feels like across specific sport coaching contexts. This paper outlines …
Game ready: Pedagogical opportunities for proactive performance analysis in team sports
Riding the wave: A Prospective Exploration of the Temporal Impact of Perceived Challenges on the Development of Relatively Early High Performing National-Level Youth Soccer Players
Looking beyond relative age to understand relative advantage and disadvantage in talent development
In this perspective article, we argue for a broader consideration of relative advantages and disadvantages in youth sport; a lens that considers the complex biopsychosocial factors that influence athlete development beyond relative age. We begin with a brief overview of Relative Age Effects (RAEs), with a particular focus on the proposed underlying mechanisms, followed by a discussion of the cultural and organisational considerations and implicat…
Getting on the same page” enhancing team performance with shared mental models—case studies of evidence informed practice in elite sport
Within high performing, team invasion sports, collective decision making and coordination between teammates are essential characteristics. There is a wealth of evidence supportive of shared mental models as being an important construct to underpin team coordination. Yet, to this point, there is limited research considering the coaches' voices in the application of shared mental models in high performance sport, nor the challenges coaches face thr…
Contemporary pedagogy? The use of theory in practice: An evidence-informed perspective
Utilizing cognitive psychology as a foundation, this paper offers a deeper consideration of contemporary theoretical influences on coaching pedagogy. Countering recent dichotomies suggested between pedagogic approaches, we reintroduce key findings from the cognitive tradition and their implications for practice which coaches may find useful. Using cognitive load, novice and expert differences, desirable difficulty, and fidelity, we suggest that t…
The 3Ps: A tool for coach observation
There is growing recognition of the value of "in situ" coach development practice across a variety sporting contexts. Unfortunately, however, there remains a limited number of tools available with which to observe coaching practice. In this study, we pilot and test a quasi-systematic tool for observation in the form of the 3Ps. Drawing on a range of representational perspectives, the theoretically neutral labels of "procedure", "planning", and "p…
International selection and competition in youth sport: Pin the Tail on the Donkey or Targeted Intervention
Across sporting contexts, there is growing debate surrounding the utility of junior international age group selection in sport. In this regard, there has been considerable focus on the age of selection, with the low conversion of athletes from junior to senior international level often used to critique the efficiency of such programmes. In this perspective article, we argue that there is a need for a more nuanced consideration of the effectivenes…
Strategy in talent systems: Top-down and bottom-up approaches
Building on a large volume of recent research in talent identification and development, this paper future directions for research and practice. We suggest that strategic coherence become a greater point of emphasis in both, with the Performance, Outcome and Process framework holding the potential to signal various markers of effectiveness. Secondly, greater recognition of the need to deploy limited resources where they promote movement toward the…
Psychological Safety in High-Performance Sport: Contextually Applicable
In recent years, high-performance sport has seen a rising interest in Psychological Safety, a construct with a strong empirical basis in certain business contexts. As research and practice interest grows in PS, there are early indications of practitioners and, to a lesser extent research, treating the construct as being universally transferable. We offer three central concerns with this situation. Firstly, it seems that a variety of different int…
An Inconsistent Triad: Priority Pluralism, Perdurantism and (the Possibility of) Gunky Time
Priority pluralism, perdurantism and that temporal gunk – where some interval of time is gunky iff every interval of it has a proper subinterval – is at least metaphysically possible, are three commonly held views in contemporary metaphysics. However, there cannot be a temporally gunky world where objects perdure, and where there are mereological simples. Given that – as I will argue – pluralists should be committed to atomism, and cannot plausib…

Chaucer's Tale of Melibee and the Failure of Allegory
When Chaucer calls his Melibee "a litel thyng in prose," he signals a key formulation for understanding his inclusion of a translation as his contribution to the Canterbury Tales. This article argues that Chaucer draws upon the legal model of ownership and use developed in Henry de Bracton's De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae as an analogue to literary ideas about textual ownership and borrowing. In doing so, he posits that the central problem…
Personal and business skills development: A project-based approach at the University of Salford
An innovatory project-based programme is described which has been developed and refined over a period of 5 years. The programme aims to improve the personal and business skills of students during the second year of one particular undergraduate course at the University of Salford. The vehicle used to develop these skills is a business start-up simulation in which students work in teams. They take part in a range of activities which are related to …
