Influence of the Coach’s Anger on the Performance of the Team

In spite of the negative effects of anger, coaches are often seen becoming angry during games. This is especially worrying in U18 categories. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the influence that the coach’s anger has on the performance of a basketball team in competition. For this, an ad hoc observation tool was designed, in which 587 moments of anger from the coaching staff (64 coaches) were recorded in the 24 semi-final and final matches of the Spanish Autonomous Region Team Championships in 2019 and 2020 in the infantil (M = 14 years old) and cadete (M = 16 years old) categories. The results show that, in response to most incidents of coach anger, the performance of the team did not change. Significant differences were identified in some scenarios, with low- or medium-intensity anger targeted at the defence, where the team performance improved. However, anger towards the referee in the last quarter with scores level had a negative influence on the team’s performance.

Age of Early Specialization, Competitive Volume, Injury, and Sleep Habits in Youth Sport: A Preliminary Study of US Youth Basketball

Background: Concerns for youth sports in the United States often focus on early sport specialization, overemphasis on competition, injuries, and burnout. Little research has addressed relationships among the preceding and other concerns, including time away from organized sport, sleep, and perceptions of physical and psychological well-being. Hypothesis: There is an association between reported competitive gameplay volume and specialization, injury, and fatigue among elite youth basketball players. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; convenience sample. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of youth basketball players between 13 and 18 years of age from across the United States. Participants were queried about multiple factors, including the extent of their participation in organized basketball and other sports, time away from organized basketball, injury, sleep, and feelings of exhaustion related to basketball participation. Results: A total of 772 participants (145 girls, 627 boys) completed a survey. All participants played for a select or elite club basketball team and/or a high school basketball team. Overall, 49% played more than 50 games within the past year. A total of 73% were specialized in basketball, 58% prior to age 14 years, and 35% prior to age 11 years. In all, 70% reported less than 1 month away from organized basketball within the past year, and 28% reported no time away. A total of 54% reported sleeping less than the recommended 8 hours each night during the school year. Within the prior year, 55% reported feeling physically exhausted and 45% reported feeling mentally exhausted from basketball. Regression analysis did not find any significant relationships between early specialization prior to age 14 years and basketball-related injury or feelings of mental or physical exhaustion. Conclusion: In this select group of youth basketball players, the majority specialized in basketball prior to age 14 years and reported a large number of competitive events with little time away from organized basketball. Clinical Relevance: The results from a sample of highly competitive youth basketball players indicate issues that warrant further attention and research regarding the potential impact of specialization, frequent competitions, lack of time away from organized sport, and perceptions of well-being in young athletes.

Influencia del juego interior de la selección española de baloncesto en el rendimiento: análisis de coordenadas polares.

En los últimos años se ha incrementado el interés por conocer las acciones más efectivas durante la competición ya que este hecho se ha mostrado esencial para mejorar el rendimiento de los jugadores en el deporte de élite; particularmente en los deportes colectivos el análisis táctico ha crecido de forma exponencial. El objetivo de este estudio fue detectar las relaciones que se establecen entre las conductas de finalización de los jugadores interiores de un equipo de baloncesto y su repercusión en el rendimiento del equipo. Para ello, y utilizando un diseño nomotético, de seguimiento y multidimensional, se realizó un análisis de coordenadas polares con las observaciones del juego de la Selección Española de Baloncesto Senior Masculina durante su participación en el Campeonato de Europa de 2015. La herramienta de observación creada ha superado el análisis de calidad del dato exigible en Metodología Observacional y está compuesta por 5 criterios y 29 categorías exhaustivas y mutuamente excluyentes. Se registraron un total de 316 acciones ofensivas, que pusieron de manifiesto la influencia de los jugadores que ocupan las posiciones interiores en el ataque estático. Los resultados muestran una alta efectividad cuando los ataques son acabados por ellos y la alta producción ofensiva de estos jugadores en acciones individuales, siendo capaces de conseguir canastas o provocar faltas a sus defensores. El análisis de coordenadas polares se ha mostrado como una técnica útil para el análisis táctico de las conductas que suceden en el deporte de competición. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in knowing the most effective actions during competition, as this fact has proven essential to improve the performance of players in elite sport; particularly in team sports, tactical analysis has grown exponentially. The objective of this study was to detect the relationships that were obtained between the finishing behaviors of the inside players of a basketball team and it is impact on team performance. To do so, and using nomothetic, follow-up and multidimensional observational design, polar coordinates analysis was performed from the observations of the game of the Spanish men basketball team during European Championships in 2015. The observational tool, formed by 5 criteria and 29 exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories, was created and passed the data quality analysis required in Observational Methodology. A total of 316 offensive actions were registered and revealed the influence of the inside players in the static attack. The results showed a high effectiveness when the attacks are finished by inside players, and the high offensive production of these players in individual actions, being able to get baskets or cause fouls to their defenders. Polar coordinates analysis has been shown as a useful technique to tactical analysis of the behaviors that occur in competitive sport.
