The International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (IJSEP) has reached a milestone – its 20th anniversary. Reflecting on the past two decades of scholarship found within the IJSEP, we take exceptional pride in being named among the editors who came before us. One of us, Athanasios, is soon to complete his tenure with the IJSEP, while Robert has served as coeditor and editorial partner with Athanasios, since 2016. During our eight years of collaboration, we have co-authored several editorials and commentaries relating to pressing topics such as sport psychology research in emerging countries (Schinke et al., 2016) as we sought to advocate for inclusion and diversity, and navigating physical activity in a socially distanced world during covid (Papaioannou et al., 2020), given the perils we all experienced in terms of mental health when we found ourselves in social bubbles, isolated from peers, friends, and family. More recently, we have invited experienced guest authors we know to be leaders in the field to share their perspectives on diverse topics, found within our 2023 instalments. Scholars including Stuart Biddle, Dan Gould, Diane Gill, Liwei Zhang, and Markus Raab generously agreed to be part of the IJSEP anniversary years, and we are grateful for their efforts and friendship. These named initiatives are mere suggestion of a thriving academic journal, seeking to be at the crest of sport, exercise, and performance psychology science to practice. Within the current moment, we have also opted to consider, from a reflective vantage as authors, mentors, and as editors, what we believe should be the professional approach to editorship within the IJSEP. We believe, and hold firm, that editorial leadership within the academic realm should always strive toward a standard of excellence and professionalism in what they (including these authors) do and how editors should accord themselves with scholars and readership. According to ancient philosophers such as Aristotle and Confucius and modern philosophers (e.g., Anscombe, 1958; MacIntyre, 2007), psychologists (e.g., Fowers, 2012), and philosophers of education (e.g., Kristjánsson, 2007), excellence is, and must be, synonymous with virtue. There is no doubt that virtuous leadership is what all scientists expect as knowledge seekers, or at least they hope for, from their peer-review journal editors, as reasonable behaviour. Every editor will be regarded at a given moment as falling short in our attempts at virtue, but try, we must, with humility and sincerity. With the present editorial we do not want to implicitly or explicitly imply that our editorial leadership has been more or less virtuous than editors in any other journal within our field and among our allied professions. Instead, we undertook this task of reflecting upon virtuous editorship by tapping into our experience through, perhaps, a thirty-thousand-foot vantage, to inform our society, the International Society of Sport Psychology, of

ABSTRACT Although the home advantage is a well-documented phenomenon in soccer, the effect of the home crowd social pressure on teams and referees’ performance remains unclear. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a unique opportunity to test the real effect of the crowd. The aim of the present study was to analyse the home advantage and referee bias in the Brazilian soccer league, comparing whole seasons played with and without spectators. Match data from 2003 to 2020 were compared. The points earned, victories, and goals scored were used to analyse teams’ performance. Referee bias was investigated by the extra time, yellow and red cards awarded. Difference of points and victories, between home and away teams, during the 2020 season was similar to most of the previous seasons and showed a decreasing tendency throughout the seasons. When comparing the 2019 and 2020 seasons, the home advantage, measured by the relative number of points won at home, was present in games played with (60.9 ± 7.7%) and without (60.4 ± 6.3%) spectators. Home teams showed higher number of victories, total points, and goals scored (p < 0.001 each). Away teams were awarded with a higher number of yellow cards (p = 0.008), but this number was smaller during the pandemic (p = 0.049). Games played with spectators received less minutes of extra time in the second half when away teams were losing by a difference of one goal (p = 0.012). In conclusion, the absence of spectators in the Brazilian soccer league during the COVID-19 pandemic did not reduce the home advantage but affected the referee bias.

ABSTRACT The benefits of self-talk on motor performance are well documented. However, there is a gap in the literature on basic research into the mechanisms underlying the performance outcomes of self-talk. The purpose of this study was to determine the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying the effects of instructional and motivational self-talk. Fifteen young females participated in a within-subject counterbalanced design under control, instructional, and motivational self-talk conditions. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was recorded from active (the right biceps and triceps brachii) and passive (the frontalis and left biceps brachii) muscles during reproduction of the elbow flexion angle (90°) in the joint position sense test. The self-talk conditions led to a significantly lower EMG activity of the right biceps muscle, decreased co-contraction ratio of right biceps activity to right triceps activity, and reduced absolute error for the elbow joint position sense compared to the control condition. Also, EMG gradients in the passive muscles were observed in the self-talk conditions but not in the control condition. These findings suggest that attention and motivation are the mechanisms that justify the relationship between self-talk and performance.

ABSTRACT This narrative review in this special issue marking the 20-year anniversary of the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology aims to summarise work on expertise research in sport psychology and beyond. We shall review findings based on factors affecting the path to excellence. The structure of factors is aligned to the multifactorial gene–environment interaction model of Ullén et al. [2016. Rethinking expertise: A multifactorial gene–environment interaction model of expert performance. Psychological Bulletin, 142(4), 427–446]. Our research synthesis indicates that individual factors for expertise are well discussed; but, too often, not examined well empirically in terms of their quantity and quality. Further, it is notable that most of the interactions between important factors have not been investigated together, and thus it is too early to draw specific conclusions on how the combined effects of factors influence expertise development and sport performance. A literature search that differentiates findings on factors for expertise in all sport-related research (using SPORTDiscus as a source) in comparison to papers published in the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology provides new ways of focusing future research in unexplored factors and their interactions. We shall provide an example of a recent large-scale project of about 600 national team level athletes in seven different sports to illustrate how general expertise models such as that from Ullén et al. can be applied to diagnostics in elite performance as one way to advance research in the field.
