Abstract

Important decisions surrounding talent identification (TID), talent development (TD) and (de)selection within elite youth soccer are often grounded in the subjective opinions of coaches. These opinions often stem from coaches’ observations of player performance, which have been shown to be susceptible to several biases. Additionally, previous research has failed to establish specific criteria on which such opinions are based, aside from a coach's own intuition and practical experience. This study aimed to create a communal language and aligned criteria for the specific purpose of evaluating players’ performances. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with nine experienced coaches (13.6 ± 10.8 years) from a professional UK soccer academy to identify coaches’ perceptions of key position-specific soccer actions, performed during differing moments of the game, for evaluating individual match performance. Thematic analysis of the interview data permitted the extraction of several themes , posited to encompass the position-specific soccer actions highlighted by the coaches. Themes for outfield positions included attacking skills; defending skills; movements to receive, create or exploit space; receiving and releasing skills; support play; end product; press, recover to the ball, man or space; and tactical understanding. Goalkeeper themes included tactical understanding, positioning relative to the ball, danger, teammates and opponents, play forward, support play, choice of action and range of distribution. This study highlights an applied approach of creating a shared mental model for appraising player performances, which can facilitate discussion and knowledge exchange between coaches and practitioners, with the intention of improving decision-making around TID, TD and (de)selection decisions.

建立一个共同的表现心理模型:教练对关键位置特定足球动作的看法
在精英青少年足球中,围绕人才识别(TID)、人才发展(TD)和(de)选择的重要决策往往基于教练的主观意见。这些观点通常源于教练对球员表现的观察,而这些观察已经被证明容易受到一些偏见的影响。此外,除了教练自己的直觉和实践经验之外,之前的研究并没有建立具体的标准来支持这些观点。这项研究旨在创造一种共同的语言和统一的标准,以评估球员的表现。对来自英国专业足球学院的9位经验丰富的教练(13.6±10.8年)进行了半结构化访谈,以确定教练在比赛不同时刻进行的关键位置特定足球动作的感知,以评估个人比赛表现。对访谈数据的专题分析允许提取几个主题,假设包含教练强调的特定位置的足球动作。外场位置的主题包括进攻技巧;维护技能;获得、创造或利用空间的动作;接收和释放技能;支持播放;最终产品;紧逼,回球,人或空间;战术上的理解。守门员的主题包括战术理解,相对于球的位置,危险,队友和对手,向前打法,支持打法,行动选择和分配范围。本研究强调了一种应用方法,即创建一个共享的心理模型来评估球员的表现,这可以促进教练和从业者之间的讨论和知识交流,旨在改善围绕TID, TD和(de)选择决策的决策。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
