AbstractAn inevitable structural feature within sport teams involves ‘the groups within the group,’ otherwise known as subgroups. Although there is a large body of literature dedicated to group dynamics constructs at the total team level, little research has explored such topics at a positional subgroup level, particularly in professional sports. Thus, the purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth exploration of group dynamics perceptions from a specific positional subgroup in professional sports, with a particular emphasis on group cohesion and leadership. Specifically, we interviewed six experienced professional gridiron football offensive linemen to explore their perspectives of the factors influencing group cohesion within their positional subgroup. The analysis revealed environmental factors as well as internal roles and interpersonal processes that shaped group development and cohesion within the subgroup. Notably, the impact of veteran athlete leadership and how the behaviors of both the coaching staff and general managers could either positively or negatively influence group cohesion in professional football were apparent. Therefore, the present results are of interest to members of professional organizations generally, and gridiron football specifically, including general managers, head coaches, assistant coaches, support staff, and athletes regarding how the dynamics within a positional subgroup can impact individual and team outcomes. Lay summary: This article describes professional athletes’ opinions about group cohesion and leadership. All athletes were part of a positional subgroup in gridiron football. The analysis revealed environmental factors as well as internal roles and interpersonal processes that shaped group development and cohesion within the subgroup and the team as a whole.IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICEProfessional general managers seeking to build high-functioning positional subgroups whereby members are highly interdependent should consider avoiding frequent athlete turnover and providing incentives for veterans to actively engage with mentoring newcomers.Professional head and assistant coaches looking to maximize individual and team outcomes should encourage veteran athletes to establish normative expectations within their positional subgroups that are unique but align with those from the superordinate team.The complexity of the professional gridiron football environment undoubtedly means that the head coach must delegate various tasks to their assistant coaches and athlete leaders to enhance the team environment. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author.

The aim of this study was to obtain a nuanced, in-depth insight into sport psychology consultants’ (SPCs’) experiences of working with cases of maltreatment in sport, and their practice recommendations to address this behavior. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five HCPC-registered SPCs in the UK. Data were analyzed in line with the principles of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four group experiential themes emerged, centered around the participants searching for meaning, fighting the system, ingrained acceptance, and tackling the problem of maltreatment in sport. Specifically, the participants referred to how the sporting context influenced their understanding of maltreatment. They also discussed the inherent difficulties with reporting this behavior, and a lack of support in this process, whilst also alluding to how sporting institutions normalized abusive practices in pursuit of performance outcomes. To address the issue of maltreatment in sports, the participants discussed a variety of recommendations including organizations being accountable, the need for organizations to be more representative, and for SPCs to work with contextual intelligence. The findings from the present study provide important implications for sporting organizations, SPCs, and the professional bodies who support practitioners around the need to further understand maltreatment in sport, and to tackle this issue.
