“…A similar approach was utilised by Cohen et al [87], with 460 children (54.1% girls; age 8.5 ± 0.6 years) in the Supporting Children's Outcomes Using Rewards, Exercise and Skills (SCORES) intervention, where teachers learnt about FMS and were instructed to provide students with specific feedback [87]. The literature widely acknowledges that youth PA interventions through the provision of non-formal coach education, such as CPD opportunities (training, resource manual, and opportunities to work with coaches and instructors) can positively support program implementation and childhood engagement in PA [88][89][90].…”

Girls are less active than boys throughout childhood and adolescence, with limited research focusing on female community sports-based programs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a multi-component, community sports-based intervention for increasing girl’s physical activity (PA) levels, fundamental movement skill (FMS) proficiency, and psychological wellbeing, as relative to a second treatment group (the traditionally delivered national comparative program), and a third control group. One hundred and twenty female-only participants (mean age = 10.75 ± 1.44 years), aged 8 to 12 years old from three Ladies Gaelic Football (LGF) community sports clubs (rural and suburban) were allocated to one of three conditions: (1) Intervention Group 1 (n = 43) received a novel, specifically tailored, research-informed Gaelic4Girls (G4G) intervention; (2) Intervention Group 2 (n = 44) used the traditionally delivered, national G4G program, as run by the Ladies Gaelic Football (LGF) Association of Ireland; and (3) Control Group 3 (n = 33) received no G4G intervention (group 1 or 2) conditions and were expected to carry out their usual LGF community sports activities. Primary outcome measurements (at both pre- and 10-week follow up) examining the effectiveness of the G4G intervention included (1) PA, (2) FMS and (3) Psychological correlates (enjoyment levels, self-efficacy, peer and parental support). Following a two (pre to post) by three (intervention group 1, intervention group 2, and control group 3) mixed-model ANOVA, it was highlighted that intervention group 1 significantly increased in PA (p = 0.003), FMS proficiency (p = 0.005) and several psychological correlates of PA (p ≤ 0.005). The findings demonstrate that the 10-week, specifically tailored, research-informed G4G intervention is a feasible and efficacious program, leading to a positive effect on the physical and psychological wellbeing of pre-adolescent Irish girls, relative to the traditionally delivered national G4G comparative program and control group conditions.

“…Early sporting diversification allows junior sport participants to gain physical, cognitive and psychosocial skills and increase motivation for participation (Jayanthi, LaBella, Fischer, Pasulka, & Dugas, 2015;Malina, 2010). The nurturing of talent through diverse sports activities without an intense focus on performance in one sport during childhood can have more positive and less negative consequences for all children involved in sport, while still facilitating the long-term development of elite performance (Galatti et al, 2017). Although early sport specialisation before the age of 13 years yield short term success and early development of skills and performance (Malina, 2010), the intrinsic risk elements associated with early sport specialisation, such as increased chances of injury from overuse, (Jayanthi et al, 2013) social isolation, physical exhaustion (Wiersma, 2000) and increased drop out due to lack of enjoyment (Gould, Tuffey, Udry, & Loehr, 1996;Wall & Côté, 2007) needs to be considered prior to designing the sport programs for juniors.…”

Rugby League (RL) is one of four football codes boasted across Australia; however, its participation rates are significantly lower when compared to other club sports, due to it being restricted to specific regions of Australia and viewed historically as a 'male only' sport. This is of particular concern throughout the junior competitions. Therefore, it is imperative that the National Rugby League's (NRL) future participation strategies adopt and reflect national / international 'best practices', so as to maintain and heighten positive and quality sporting opportunities, that are aimed to increase junior participation / retention, as well as build players' skills and personal development. The objective of this research is twofold, with the initial aim to demonstrate the clear alignment between the NRL's Player Development Framework (PDF) and national / international movements concerning shifts in junior sporting models. A secondary aim is to demonstrate the impact and participants' satisfaction levels concerning seven initiatives. A quantitative approach was employed to investigate participants' (children, n = 916; adults, n = 20) reported experiences from their direct involvement across the seven initiatives. Nine hundred and thirty-six (936) participants (youth between 4 to over 15 years, n = 916), seniors aged between 20 and over 41 years, n = 20) had data collected from seven initiatives, that were implemented across the five testing centres (Ipswich, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Toowoomba and Victoria) in 2019. The initiatives were identified as being the: 1) RISE (n = 73), 2) League Tag (n = 330), 3) Tackle Safe (n = 168), 4) 18-Month Policy (n = 155), 5) Development Competition (n = 138), 6) Community League (n = 20) and 7) Weight Related (n = 52). Participants were only required to complete the one online survey associated with the initiative they were involved in. Spearman's rho correlation (r) matrix was used to examine the strength of the association between variables, with p-values (p) employed to indicate statistically significant associations, at the one and two tail (p < .05* and p < .01**). Results have noticeably indicated that the full suite of programs have been well received and have gone to meet and support the PDF's aims. Of particular note, is the high level of participants' agreement (p < .000) indicating that the programs significantly improved their level of:1) confidence, 2) involvement, and 3) enjoyment. Importantly, data indicates that participants who identified with the aforementioned levels of agreement, were significantly (p < .000) and positively correlated with 4) higher levels of willingness to recommend each of the programs to peers.

“…Novamente observa-se a importância dos relacionamentos interpessoais, principalmente no que se refere à relação treinador atleta, o que corrobora diversos estudos na literatura internacional (CÔTÉ; FRASER-THOMAS, 2007; CÔTÉ; TURNNIDGE; EVANS, 2014; TURNNIDGE; CÔTÉ, 2016) e nacional (GALATTI et al, 2015;FOLLE et al, 2016;GALATTI et al, 2016).…”

“…Em um primeiro momento, essa separação pode ser necessária para desenvolver gestos técnicos específicos e aspectos físicos de uma maneira ótima, mas é importante refletir sobre a necessidade dessa separação sempre estar ocorrendo, já que foi discutido anteriormente que o goleiro atualmente têm sido reintegrado ao time (WILSON, 2008;, sendo que a maior parte de suas ações ocorre de maneira ofensiva (GALLO et al, 2010), isso é, existe uma necessidade desse atleta ser capaz de integrar seus gestos técnicos, físicos e capacidades táticas, que muitas vezes são difíceis de reproduzir em um treinamento que é realizado de maneira separada do restante do elenco, por estar descontextualizado de uma situação de real de competição. A primeira parte do discurso de G2 revela a inexistência de uma pessoa especializada para o treinamento de goleiros específicos, como já foi discutido anteriormente em G1, o que revela uma outra dificuldade para o desenvolvimento da prática deliberada que foi proposto por (GALATTI et al, 2015;FOLLE et al, 2016;GALATTI et al, 2016).…”

Soccer is the sport with the largest number of practitioners in the world. The present research has as object of study the goalkeepers. The greater relevance of this function is still very recent in the world and national scenario, respectively. In different decades goalkeepers experienced the evolution of this training in the national scenario and lived different experiences among themselves. The central questions of this research are: how did sports career development of goalkeepers who play or have already played in the Brazilian men's national team? Were there thresholds in their sportsc career that lead them to elite level? The theoretical framework was based on the research of Côté, Stambulova and their collaborators. The aim of this study is to investigate and describe the athletic career of goalkeepers who play or have played in the Brazilian men's national team, based on a retrospective analysis of the players themselves. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven Brazilian goalkeepers who experienced the sports elite at the international level in different periods. The methodology for this study, it was used the Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The participants were involved with a high amount of deliberate play through games related to football in different contexts. All the transitions occurred with several singularities between the groups and the participants in relation to that proposed by the DMSP. It was possible to realize a technical tendency in the development process of the participants' athletic career. The conclusions are: the DMSP is not enough to analyze the complexity of factors that influence the development of the sports career. The PAF, the Sports Career Transition Model and the Cultural Transition Model are essential tools to sustain the gaps left by the first model; there are significant differences between the forms of career development between the three groups; there is a predominance of the thecnic aspects in structured training. We highlight the necessity to improve the tactical aspect in the periodization of training.
