“…One characteristic of experts is that they put extreme effort into improving their performance (Feltovich, Prietula & Ericsson, 2006). Youth soccer players who develop discipline, commitment, resilience, and social support have the best chance to make the transition to professional adult soccer (Holt & Dunn, 2004). Self-regulation could play a role in the development of these four factors.…”

(2009) In learning and development, self-regulation can be described as the degree to which individuals are metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviourally proactive participants in their learning process (Zimmerman, 1989(Zimmerman, , 2006. We examined the relationship between self-regulation and performance level in elite (n=159) and nonelite (n=285) youth soccer players aged 11 to 17 years (mean age 14.5, s=1.4). The players completed a questionnaire that measured planning, self-monitoring, evaluation, reflection, effort and self-efficacy. A logistic regression analysis was performed (controlling for age) to determine which self-regulatory aspects were associated with players' performance level (elite vs. non-elite). High scores on reflection and effort were associated with a higher level of performance. Findings suggest that elite players may be both more aware of their strong and weak points and they may be better able to translate this awareness into action. As well, these elite players appear to be more willing to invest effort into practice and competition.It is suggested that these better developed self-regulatory skills may translate into a more effective learning environment and ultimately result in an increased capacity for performance in elite players relative to their non-elite peers.

“…Football players must be able to handle stressful situations and cope effectively with different stressors (Holt & Dunn, 2004), including external expectations, game situations, and opportunities for professional contracts. The older the players are, the more they are concerned with performance worry, social status, and comparisons (Duda, 1992); they also need to prepare more for their future outside of the academy.…”

“…Holt & Dunn, 2004), but the choice of coding techniques and methods does not define this element of GT, rather the principles of coding do. And these principles are simply that initial coding (be it on a word-by-word, line-by-line, incident-by-incident, or some other basis) seeks to describe phenomena before moving to a further higher order stage (which may or may not take place via axial, selective or focused coding) that seeks to conceptualise phenomena 2 .…”

This paper aims to capture the essence of grounded theory (GT) by setting out its commonalities and variants and, importantly, the implications of the latter for the implementation of the former, and for the truth claims and the contributions to knowledge that a GT study might make. Firstly, three ontological and epistemological variants of GT are outlined. Secondly, the commonalities of GT are set out as eight core elements of GT methodology that are individually necessary, but only sufficient collectively, to define a GT study. These elements are: an iterative process; theoretical sampling; theoretical sensitivity; codes, memos and concepts; constant comparison; theoretical saturation; fit, work, relevance and modifiability; and substantive theory. Thirdly, the implications of the ontological and epistemological variants of GT for, firstly, the implementation of the core common elements of the methodology and, secondly, the truth claims and contributions to knowledge that might be made, are discussed. Finally, the paper concludes by arguing that published GT studies in sport, exercise and health research have not always explicitly demonstrated a full understand of the commonalities and variants of GT, and that researchers publishing GT studies must take responsibility for doing this.
