BACKGROUND: Soccer is part of the team sports games category and is characterized by the cooperation and opposition interactions between players in the same space of play and time. Thus, players must adequately decide what action to perform despite the unpredictable, random, and varying nature of the environment of play. AIM: This paper explores tactical competencies that can be appreciated in the way players play and their functioning. METHOD: The argumentation is structured over a review of sixty articles in five languages, selected from the results in an online university library with topic-related keywords. The selected papers were analyzed to identify the most frequently reported concepts related to (i) tactics and action in the play; (ii) decision-making and associated cognitive mechanisms and skills; and (iii) the teaching-learning-training process. RESULTS: The results of this review sum the three following competencies: tactical intelligence, creativity, and co-adaptability. We argue that these competencies can be built through the play's practice and that coaches should seek to use them to the advantage of player’s development. Small-sided and conditioned games reflect a compatible opportunity to nurture the competencies as long as they are configured to solicit the competencies in an environment that promotes them. CONCLUSION: Tactical intelligence, creativity, and co-adaptability can be appreciated in the tactical behavior shown by performing players. For the same reason, those also should constitute more of the player’s development curriculum, therefore leading to players who have a competitive advantage.

The debate regarding the teaching of sport and games appears to be more complex than a matter of technical versus tactical approaches. The authors identify facets of the debate. One of these facets concerns the undifferentiated use of the terms tactics and strategy. The authors argue that these two concepts need to be clarified if decision-making and critical-thinking are to be encouraged on the part of the students. A framework is put forward for the analysis of the functioning of team sports. The framework includes: (a) an overview of the internal logic of team sports based on two essential features, the rapport of strength and the competency network; (b) an operational definition of strategy and tactics as they relate to the internal logic of team sports; and (c) nine principles underlying tactics and strategy and presented as potential guides for teachers and students in the teaching-learning of team sports and games.

The aim of this review is to summarize current literature about decision-making in handball in order to identify potential gaps in the cognitive domain, and to propose directions for future research. Studies used various methods but rarely specified the theoretical framework. Two theoretical approaches are commonly used to study the decision-making in team sports. The cognitive approach was used in two thirds of the studies reported in this review. It focuses on skills used by a player to respond to different stimuli often in a non-specific context. These skills include attention, memory and perception. As expected, expert players tend to perform better in these cognitive tests compared to novices, especially when the task’s complexity is high. In contrary, the naturalistic approach studies the way the player analyzes a real and experienced situation. The studies look first at the generation of options, for which expert players appear superior. Second, they assess team cognition which concerns the way a decision is integrated into a collective plan. In this paper, we’ve described some practical applications and highlighted the limitations and complementarity of these two approaches to study the importance of expertise in decision-making.

The content of an athlete’s perception during sports practice and the way it determines his / her decisions are some of the key questions in sport and have important consequences on the training process. The decision making in sport (DMS), influenced by cognitivist theories, has been considered until recently as a mere mental process more or less elaborated depending on the practitioner’s level. The current model, conceiving the perception of the environment and the action as separated processes, presents some limitations to explain the creativity, flexibility and adaptability that characterises the athlete behaviour. The juxtaposition of ecological psychology and dynamic systems theory (DST) under the name of ecological dynamics offer an original and alternative perspective to understand DMS. In this way, it appears that a specific mental process to produce the decisions is no longer necessary. The decisions seem to emerge spontaneously out of the nonlinear interaction of the components of the system. The personal, task, and environmental constraints in each specific context organize those components in specific configurations that present decisions of the system. From the new perspective, the decision is fruit of the athlete’s interaction with his / her context. Therefore, the athlete’s function is no longer  act effectively. The paper offers a brief historical outline of the evolution of the concept of DMS, explains the basis and limitations of the cognitivistic model of DMS, develops the DMS from the ecological dynamics perspective — focusing on some main concepts (self-organisation, order and control parameters and phase transitions) and some recent research results in individual and team sports — and finally presents the practical consequences of the new model in the training process at three different levels: personal, task and environmental constraints.Keywords: decision-making in sport, ecological dynamics, dynamic systems theory, sports training.

Teaching Learning

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.

AbstractIt is widely recognised that accessing and processing medical information in libraries and patient records is a burden beyond the capacities of the physician’s unaided mind in the conditions of medical practice. Physicians are quite capable of tremendous intellectual feats but cannot possibly do it all. The way ahead requires the development of a framework in which the brilliant pieces of understanding are routinely assembled into a working unit of social machinery that is coherent and as error free as possible – a challenge in which we ourselves are among the working parts to be organized and brought under control.Such a framework of intellectual rigor and discipline in the practice of medicine can only be achieved if knowledge is embedded in tools; the system requiring the routine use of those tools in all decision making by both providers and patients.

In spite of increasing advocacy for patients’ participation in psychiatric decision-making, there has been little research on how patients actually participate in decision-making in psychiatric consultations. This study explores how patients take the initiative in decision-making over treatment in outpatient psychiatric consultations in Japan. Using the methodology of conversation analysis, we analyze 85 video-recorded ongoing consultations and find that patients select between two practices for taking the initiative in decision-making: making explicit requests for a treatment and displaying interest in a treatment without explicitly requesting it. A close inspection of transcribed interaction reveals that patients make explicit requests under the circumstances where they believe the candidate treatment is appropriate for their condition, whereas they merely display interest in a treatment when they are not certain about its appropriateness. By fitting practices to take the initiative in decision-making with the way they describe their current condition, patients are optimally managing their desire for particular treatments and the validity of their initiative actions. In conclusion, we argue that the orderly use of the two practices is one important resource for patients’ participation in treatment decision-making.
