ABSTRACTDecades of motor learning research has challenged the role of errors; for the same reason some authors promote them, others demote them. In this discursive article, we propose that the role of errors in the sports coaching context is more complex than a binary error avoidance or promotion approach. Accordingly, we present a novel perspective, which suggests that when equipped with effective decision-making skills, coaches can use errors strategically, manipulating their frequency to align with an athlete’s performance context and achieve interdisciplinary learning outcomes. In doing so, the article discusses the considerations for error implementation and emphasises the importance of coaches' decision-making skills for implementing a nuanced error-based approach. Such ideas have the potential to positively impact the quality of applied coaching practice within the field of motor learning and player development, but more research is required to establish how this could be operationalised with practitioners in the field.KEYWORDS: Biopsychosocialchallenge point hypothesisdesirable difficultiesmotor learningpractical coachingpsychological characteristics of developing excellence Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThere is no data associated with this manuscript.Additional informationFundingThe authors received no funding in direct support of this work.

While indigenous coaching cultures are founded and sustained according to national traditions, coaching preferences cross national boundaries to influence cultural developments in other nations. This phenomenon occurs through neighbourhood diffusion, the adoption of practices in adjacent countries, and hierarchical diffusion, whereby emerging nations adopt structural features of advanced nation’s sports programmes and recruit coaching experts from those countries. This paper addresses a phase of coach migration from Britain that occurred during the late Victorian period and utilises a range of sources to present biographies of some British coaches who made an impact in America. Their collective biography illustrates some common features of these men’s lives and the effect that they had on their host nation’s coaching culture, contributing in the process to our understanding of the ways in which national coaching cultures have evolved and the relationship between the exchange of sports coaches and the transfer of knowledge and experience.

ABSTRACTJean Bretonnel was a prominent French boxing coach/manager active from 1925 to 1989. He succeeded in shaping a new profession and, above all, in getting French boxing recognised by the Americans who at that time controlled the professional sport globally. Admittedly, he benefited from a favourable socio-historical context during France’s post-war reconstruction, when boxing matches were among the country’s most popular sporting spectacles. But how do we account for Bretonnel’s individual success in this competitive environment? In this article I explore the professional trajectory of Jean Bretonnel on two levels. On the one hand I consider his personality, examining notions of culture and relationship to culture as encapsulated in the concept of “cultural form”. On the other hand, his career path is analysed in terms of the “system” he established by drawing on both his network of contacts and his specialist knowledge as manager and coach.KEYWORDS: BoxingJean Bretonnelmanagercoachcultural formcareer trajectory Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. The plots of Balzac’s novels often revolve around rapid social elevation (e.g. Rastignac) and money, tainted by the essential violence of the male-dominated bourgeoisie; the style is precise and easy to understand. Proust, on the other hand, explores the tensions between love and money in a much more elaborate manner. His writing is characterised by long and rich description and a more ambiguous view of gender relations, which sit uneasily with certain traditional attitudes regarding masculine virility.2. Another interesting example is provided by Carine Érard (Citation2007), who analysed the career of French Olympic champion (1948) Micheline Ostermeyer.3. He even founded an amateur cycling club named La Pédale Pugilistique, whose membership comprised boxers, managers and promoters.4.
