Description
Summary:The task of the coach is to develop the game skills of the player and support this process. However, the behavior of the player depends on three interacting constraints: individual constraints, task constraints and environmental constraints. The idea is that when one of these constraints is manipulated, for example a coach instruction (task constraint), the team dynamics change. Previous research showed that a coach can manipulate spatial behavior of a basketball player during a 1 vs. 1 dribble with neutral, conservative and risk-taking instructions. However, not much research is done if and how a coach instruction can manipulate tactical behavior of a soccer team. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of spatial coach instructions on tactical behavior of young soccer players with the use of spatiotemporal data. The present study gained insight in the effect of spatial coach instructions on the tactical behavior of young soccer players.
