“…These various perspectives could be investigated using mixed-method approaches, such as combining quantitative data obtained from eye-tracking technology with qualitative data gathered through self-confrontation interviews, to investigate these phenomena and attempt to explain the links between attention, decision making, and visual activity [ 28 ].…”

This study investigates the visual activity of fencers in conditions resembling official competitions. Previous research in experimental conditions has shown that experts focus on specific areas of the torso and the armed arm to control movement initiation. Eight right-handed fencers (epee: two males, one female; foil: one male; sabre: two males, two females) participated in a simulated competition, wearing an eye tracker during one bout. The findings showed that the main fixation in foil and sabre is the upper torso, while in epee, it is the lower torso. In epee and sabre, the upper torso is viewed about 50% of the time, with three other areas also observed, while in foil, the fixation is totally directed to the upper torso. Additionally, two new areas of interest were identified: the score machine and an area involving fixations other than the opponent. The study found no direct link between visual activity and performance. The visual search strategy varies among weapons, with foil using a gaze anchor or foveal spot and epee and sabre utilizing a visual pivot due to the discipline’s inherent rules. The study also emphasizes that competition-like conditions can disrupt visual activity with external stimuli, possibly affecting performance.

“…CTA can also be employed to offer an iterative and detailed analysis of specific tasks or roles in a discipline (Hoffman et al, 2009a). Despite Nash et al (2012) suggesting that ACTA could be used as a means of understanding "what (coaches) know and what they can do with that knowledge" (p. 8), significant use of Macrocognitive modeling in sport (Ashford et al, 2021;Bossard et al, 2022), and the recommended use of CTA methods (Lyle and Vergeer, 2013), there has been limited use in sport coaching. To this point, ACTA's use has been limited to understanding the management of cognitive load of adventure sport coaches (Collins and Collins, 2021), the processes of coach developers (Abraham, 2016), the decision making processes of early career (Downes and Collins, 2021b) and high level (Downes and Collins, 2021a) strength and conditioning coaches.…”

High performance coach cognition in the wild: using applied cognitive task analysis for practical insights–cognitive challenges and curriculum knowledge

Despite significant empirical work in the sport coaching domain, there remains a paucity of evidence to inform practice in high-performance sport coaching. As a result, there are gaps in our understanding regarding coaching expertise at different levels of athlete performance. A significantly underutilized approach in coaching research is Cognitive Task Analysis and it’s knowledge elicitation tools. Addressing these concerns, here we utilize applied Cognitive Task Analysis and a semi-structured interview protocol to elicit the cognitive challenges and use of knowledge by a group of N = 7 high-performance endurance sport coaches from a single national governing body. Analysis suggested prominent and ongoing challenges in day-to-day practice which, in turn require significant adaptive skill. In addition, results show how coaches used knowledge flexibly and conditionally to meet the demands of their role. A novel finding being the identification of the use of curriculum knowledge to mentally project the needs of athletes. The findings suggest opportunities for utilizing Cognitive Task Analysis to investigate the cognitive challenges of sport coaching and enhance coach development practice.

“…Additionally, it was shown that dribbling decisions in futsal were influenced by the diversity of passing angles, shooting, and especially interpersonal distance, whose variability affected dribbling success ( Corrêa et al, 2016 ). The possibilities offered before and after dribbling can be encompassed in a cognitive process called decision-making ( Moutoussis et al, 2021 ), although in the field of sport, it is preferable to refer to it as naturalistic decision making (NDM; see, e.g., Macquet and Fleurance, 2007 ; Krstulović et al, 2021 ; Bossard et al, 2022 ). Indeed, soccer is a sport in which action is not regulated by an a priori plan, and players choose whether to dribble against the opponent based on different characteristics present at a given time (i.e., naturalistic).…”

IntroductionDribbling is an important soccer skill that, when effective, allows players to overcome opponents. It can provide a strong tactical advantage; for this reason, all of its components (sprint, speed, and ball control) are fundamental to the development of young players. Dribbling can also be considered a decision-making process, and due to its characteristics, it is not always easy to study ecologically. Using a video analysis study, this research aimed to determine whether dribbling skills, specifically dribbling choice (i.e., decision-making), were related to U10 soccer players’ quality.MethodsSeveral outcomes measures, divided into three categories, were taken during video analyses: (i) measures related to the efficacy of dribbling skill; (ii) measures related to the ability of players without the ball to support the player in possession; and (iii) measures related to ball circulation. These data were retrospectively assessed to whether the coaches had formed the teams in training through an implicit knowledge of the players’ dribbling skills.ResultsThe percentage of accurate dribbling (that is, the ability to perform correct passes after a successful dribble) was found to be the variable that coaches may have implicitly used in creating the three groups differentiated by technical skills (p < 0.05). In fact, this percentage was 12.9%, 24.0%, and 48.1% for the groups with lower, average, and higher technical skills, respectively.ConclusionOverall, the results demonstrate that dribbling accuracy has an important weight in the coach’s evaluation of the technical skills level of young soccer players.
