“…Gréhaigne and Godbout (1995) insist that tactical knowledge, often at the source of efficient decisions in the play, is constructed through the repeated experience of the play and is not necessarily conscious (Beilock et al, 2003;Memmert and Roth, 2007). That knowledge is therefore of subjective and implicit in nature (Gallego et al, 2010;Mouchet, 2013) and is integrated and used in a way that allows players to judge the information they perceive as much as it helps them create a motor response to execute their decision (Petiot et al, 2017(Petiot et al, , 2021. Moreover, it is also argued that players are mostly able to learn new content if they can make sense of it because it is significant to them (Gallego et al, 2010;Mouchet, 2013).…”

“…Concretely, better decision-making skills are observed in players with more experience as they make more accurate and/or faster decisions than less experienced players ( Giacomini et al, 2011 ). Players with more knowledge are making less cognitive effort to make their decisions ( Cardoso et al, 2019 , 2021 ) and employ cognitive mechanisms that allow them to make coherent judgment ( Petiot et al, 2017 ) and still rely on their intuition ( Raab and Johnson, 2008 ). Players showing a better tactical performance and a better knowledge of the game are therefore more susceptible to learning new things through the game ( Greco, 2004 ; Iglesias et al, 2005 ).…”

Research in sport pedagogy and its applied recommendations are still characterized by a contrast between the different learning theories from psychology. Traditional theories and their corresponding approaches to the specific case of teaching and learning “how to play [team sports like soccer]” are subject to compatibilities and incompatibilities. We discuss how behaviorism as an approach to teaching the game shows more incompatibilities with the nature of tactical actions when compared to constructivism. As coaches strive to teach the game and make their players and team perform, we argue that teaching the game requires teaching approaches that will help develop their way to play (i.e., tactical behavior) without taking away their autonomy and adaptiveness. The teaching-learning-training process for playing the game should then be conducted to harmonize the characteristics of the contents, the context, and the individual(s) at hand. We provide two illustrated examples and portray how the recommended approaches fit key contents of the game that are observed in the tactical behavior. We finally argue that the coherent design of games provides minimal conditions to teaching approaches, and that such a design should be a priority when elaborating the learning activities along the player development process. As a conclusion, the interactionist theory is the one that best serves the teaching of the game and the development of tactical behavior. We therefore defend that its principles can help coaches tailor their own strategy to teach the game with the many tools.

“…In this perspective, it is important for the coach to have a good knowledge of the game to master the main constraints that influence the behaviour in competition and give him the competence to create contexts that allow players to understand, experiment, explore their possibilities in relation to the ball, free space, companions and opponents, as well as make effective decisions [10,36,40].…”

“…It is essential for them to construct training exercises that develop the players' understanding and ability to quickly respond to the demands of the game [33]. It is important that training recreates situations close to the competitive reality for players and team to experience them, since knowledge and memory are important in information processing [9,40]. SSGs are an important strategy for coaches to develop individual and collective performance in solving game situations on the basis of team coordination, game moments, and tactical principles of team play [6,10,38].…”

Purpose. The small-sided games (SSGs) allow to work in specificity, in accordance with the characteristics of the soccer game, the physical, technical, tactical, and psychological aspects. This study intends to understand how and why coaches use the SSGs in the training process. Methods. For this purpose, we applied a semi-structured interview. Two coaches were interviewed owing to their vast experience in high-performance training and youth training. The analysis was carried out through content analysis. We used categorization to group data with common characteristics. The category system was defined later. Results. The results demonstrate that SSGs are an integral part of the training process, allowing work in the physical, technical, and tactical aspects. The coaches interviewed argue that SSGs are an important work strategy for the articulation of the players in the sector and inter-sector of the team, on the basis of the tactical principles that they see reproduced in the competition. Conclusions. According to the interviewed coaches, SSGs are relevant as they may develop both tactical principles and physical capabilities. Applying such games during all the season allows to establish a direct relationship with specific moments that occur in official competitions.

“…Some research has shown very positive effects of sports activities such as Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, Shooting, Dance, Martial Arts, Swimming and Mountaineering on the development of problem-solving skills/decision-making skills and academic performance of the students [28][29][30]. Other research has identified that sports like soccer directly involved in the development of decision making ability among players and also in problem-solving skills [31,32].…”

Purpose:It is generally believed that sports can play an important role in developing life skills and positive youth development. The purpose of this study was to determine the views of Gomal University students’ athletes on the role that sports played in developing the important life skill of decision making. The time management, planning, dealing with adversity and adapting new situation were taken as decision-making skills. Materials:A sample of n=375 (male=334, female=41 completed questionnaires. The researchers collected the required information with the help of self-administered structured questionnaire encompassing the selected variables of the study. The responses were tabulated and analyzed with the help of computer software. Results:The results showed participants attributed a significant role for sports in developing decision-making skills such as time management, planning, dealing with adversity and adapting new situation (603** at 0.01) and significant correlation between sports participation and the development of various decision-making skills among its participants (603** at 0.01). The results indicated that demographic characteristic such as gender, age, and level of sports participation of the athletes brings variations in the mean score of research variables (0.003, 0.004 & 0.001 < 0.05). conclusions:Results of the study indicated that sports provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn skills that can help them in taking positive as well as effective decision. The present exploration affirmed that students can acquire a) time management skill, b) proper planning, c) dealing with adversity, and d) the ability to adjust in a new situation through active participation in sports activities. However, some demographic characteristics of the sports participants such as gender, sports experience, and format of sports have an influence upon the development of these skills through sports.
