Coaching tactical development in elite athletics

Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coach Education, August 31, 2010 -- Although perhaps less strictly defined, there are specific scientific aspects to tactical development. The process of tactical development involves:

i) preparing for the event
ii) the game plan
iii) a season strategy

Within the game setting, perception, concentration, and decision-making become important.

a) Perception: This is a person’s ability to recognize and interpret sensory stimuli.

b) Concentration: This is the ability to sustain one’s attention on the relevant cues and not to be distracted by outside thoughts or other irrelevant stimuli.

c) Decision-making: This is reading the stimuli, knowing what the stimuli mean, weighing the evidence based on experience, and making an action based on this analysis.
