“…Lastly, components such as team cohesion, team roles, leadership, and the team's environment are discussed through social lenses. Exploring several psychological dimensions simultaneously (i.e., cognition, emotions, and social) while investigating human performance was noted as an appropriate holistic approach (see Eccles & Tenenbaum, 2007;). …”

Aims:The purpose of the current study was to establish a conceptual framework of team chemistry components in sport with an emphasis on Shared Mental Models (SMM).Method: Elite soccer coaches (n = 6) and players (n = 3) were interviewed using a semistructured interview guide. An inductive thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data.Results: Four themes related to team chemistry components were identified: (1) members' characteristics (i.e., demographic data, on-field characteristics, and member's ego), (2) coachplayers interactions (i.e., professional interaction and emotional intelligence of coaches), (3) interactions among the players (i.e., professional understanding, efficacy beliefs, team cohesion, players' emotional intelligence, team roles, and goals), and (4) interactions with environmental factors (i.e., owners, management, fans, and media). Conclusions:The cognitive components of the team chemistry model were clustered to establish a conceptual framework of SMM. Furthermore, the cognitive-affective-social-behavioral linkage of team chemistry and athletic performance is examined in light of the emerged model and conceptual framework. Implications and future directions are also discussed. Expertise in Soccer Teams: A Thematic Inquiry into the Role of Shared Mental Models within Team ChemistryIndividuals frequently collaborate to enhance their team's performance (Colin, 2003). Such collaborations have been acknowledged as especially important in situations in which a broader knowledge foundation and different skills are necessary for efficient decision-making (Kellermanns, Floyd, Pearson, & Spencer, 2008). In their conceptual framework on expert teams, Eccles and Tenenbaum (2004) emphasized social (e.g., communication) and cognitive (e.g., shared cognitions) components to be crucial for reaching coordination in the pursuit of superior Team Chemistry 3 collective performance. Specifically, the concepts of teamwork and taskwork knowledge have been proposed to underlie team coordination (Cannon-Bowers & Salas, 1998;Klimoski & Mohammed, 1994;Mclntyre & Salas, 1995). Teamwork knowledge refers to implicit knowledge of actions made by other teammates. Taskwork knowledge centers on the team member's knowledge pertaining to the performance requirements of a specific role in the team (Mohammed, Ferzandi, & Hamilton, 2010). Eccles and Tenenbaum (2004) have exemplified the application of taskwork and teamwork knowledge in sports such as football, and the differences between them. Accordingly, taskwork was represented by the quarterback's ability to execute a pass that reaches its targeted destination in space and time. Yet, to complete the task successfully, the quarterback depends on teamwork (e.g., teammates blocking the defensive line from reaching him, the running back faking receiving the ball, and other potential receivers distracting the opponents from identifying the real target). As players transfer teams, their taskwork knowledge mostly holds. Nevertheless, new teamwork elements of the task ...

“…Players can use peripheral vision in the 180-degree visual field in front of them, but they cannot easily detect what is going on behind their back without turning to look (Jordet, 2005). Coaching of teammates improves team performance by making teammates aware of task-relevant information (e.g., Eccles & Tenenbaum, 2007;Williams, Davids, & Williams, 1999).…”

This study aimed to measure behavioral correlates of self-regulation in elite youth soccer players. Behaviors regarded as indicative of self-regulated learning were identified by interviewing six expert youth soccer coaches. These behaviors were observed during practice of eight elite youth soccer players aged 15-17 years, and linked with self-reported self-regulated learning scores to describe behavioral correlates of self-regulation. Results indicated that self-regulated learning is reflected in taking responsibility for learning and that players' practice environment plays a significant role. This study highlights the importance of measuring overt behavior to gain a complete impression of youth soccer players' self-regulated learning skills.

A nomological network on team dynamics in sports consisting of a multi-framework perspective is introduced and tested. The aim was to explore the interrelationship among cohesion, team mental models (TMM), collective-efficacy (CE), and perceived performance potential (PPP). Three hundred and forty college-aged soccer players representing 17 different teams (8 female and 9 male) participated in the study. They responded to surveys on team cohesion, TMM, CE and PPP. Results are congruent with the theoretical conceptualization of a parsimonious view of team dynamics in sports. Specifically, cohesion was found to be an exogenous variable predicting both TMM and CE beliefs. TMM and CE were correlated and predicted PPP, which in turn accounted for 59% of the variance of objective performance scores as measured by teams' season record. From a theoretical standpoint, findings resulted in a parsimonious view of team dynamics, which may represent an initial step towards clarifying the epistemological roots and nomological network of various team-level properties. From an applied standpoint, results suggest that team expertise starts with the establishment of team cohesion. Following the establishment of cohesiveness, teammates are able to advance teamrelated schemas and a collective sense of confidence. Limitations and key directions for future research are outlined. not been tested yet (see Bandura 1997; Carron & Hausenblas, 1998;Eccles & Tenenbaum, 2007; 8 Klimoski & Mohammed, 1994;Mohammed et al., 2010;Salas, Sims, & Burke, 2005). The Keywords 18Team cohesion is a multidimensional phenomenon that includes both social and task 19 components at an individual and team level of analysis (Carron et al., 1985). Social cohesion 20 pertains to the notion of teammates bonding for social reasons, thus reflecting the extent that 27Of particular importance to this study is the notion that team cohesion is related to other 28 team-level constructs, such as TMM and CE (Eccles & Tenenbaum, 2007; Fiore et al., 2003). In 36TMM refer to the "collective task and team-relevant knowledge that team members bring 37 to a situation" (Cooke et al., 2003, p. 153). TMM is thought to provide a heuristic route (i.e., rule (Bandura, 1997;Myers et al., 2004;Zaccaro et al., 1995). 84From a factor analysis standpoint, the proposed model considers leading instruments 85 designed to measure cohesion, TMM and CE. Also, we aimed for a parsimonious model with 86 non-overlapping factors. Accordingly, we focused on measuring only the unique factorial 87 contributions representing cohesion, TMM, and CE. In other words, potentially overlapping 88 factors among the instruments utilized in this study were not considered. In particular, two sub- scores as measured by the Group Environment Questionnaire (see Carron et al., 1985). 95Furthermore, peer-debriefing meetings among the authors led to a unanimous agreement 96 regarding the "conceptual equivalence" of the aforementioned factors. Hence, in the proposed 97 model cohesion portrays the idea ...
