Why do children take part in, and remain involved in sport? A literature review and discussion of implications for sports coaches (2013, background): “These data provide further support for the need to increase the level of research activity in children’s coaching contexts in order to better understand children’s developmental learning needs and motivations for participating (Wall & Côté, 2007).”
Overuse injuries and burnout in youth sports: a position statement from the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (2014, background): “Early specialization also seems to be correlated with reports of decreased general health and psychological well-being.(134,190) The diagnosis of overtraining syndrome/burnout can only be made by taking a thorough history and requires the recognition of nonspecific and varied symptomatology in athle”
The benefits of sampling sports during childhood (2009, background): “Empirical evidence has revealed a troubling link between early speciali zation and increased sport attrition that has been reasonably well established across ability levels (Cote et al., 2007; Gould, 1987; Gould, Undry, Tuffey, & Loehr, 1996; Wall & Cote, 2007 ).”
A systematic review of dropout from organized sport among children and youth (2015, unknown): “43 Wall and Cote (2007) x 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 7 Total number of studies 15 28 39 42 22 38 32 42 42 20 Note: Str, Structural constraint; Inte, Interpersonal constraint; Intra, Intrapersonal constraint; RA, rationale defined; PE, participant eligibility described; PS, participant selection described; VR,…”
Power, heart rate and perceived exertion responses to 3x3 and 4x4 basketball small-sided games (2009, background): “Additionally, at this point, available evidence suggests that these constraints (i.e., playing area and number of players) promote higher levels of enjoyment and dedication among players, who therefore, further develop at this level (Wall & Côté, 2007).”
Evidence-based policies for youth sport programmes (2016, methodology): “Among these, evidence supports the notion that increased sport diversification increases participation (i.e., avoids dropout) in many sports including tennis (Carlson 1988, Gould et al. 1996), swimming (Fraser-Thomas et al. 2008a, 2008b) and ice hockey (Wall and Côté 2007).”
Talent Identification and Development: The Need for Coherence Between Research, System, and Process (2013, background): “…pursues such practice, research overwhelmingly indicates it to be detrimental to the long term health and wellbeing of young athletes, citing drop out, injury and burn out as key outcomes (Fraser-Thomas, Côté, & Deakin, 2008; Gould, Tuffey, Udrey, & Loehr, 1996; Wall & Côté, 2007; Weirsma, 2000).”
ISSP position stand: To sample or to specialize? Seven postulates about youth sport activities that lead to continued participation and elite performance (2009, background): “Wall and Côté (2007) reported that young, elite, dropout ice hockey players began off-ice training (for the purpose of improving hockey performance) at a younger age and invested significantly more hours per year in off-ice training at ages 12-13 than a group of invested, young, elite, ice hockey…”
An Integrative Definition of Coaching Effectiveness and Expertise (2009, background): “Although this performance environment can certainly be handled by some children, at a population level it involves a mismatch between children’s developmental needs and coaching behaviours that leads to more dropout, injuries, and shorter careers than when children are trained by a competent partici”
The usefulness of small-sided games on soccer training (2012, background): “…improved through smallsided games, in fact, available evidence suggests that these constraints (i.e., playing area and number of players) promote higher levels of enjoyment and dedication among players improving, at same time, the level of play (Wall & Côté, 2007; Sampaio, Abrantes & Leite, 2009).”
What do we know about early sport specialization? Not much! (2009, methodology): “Consistent with Wiersma’s (2000) definition and past research in the field (e.g., Baker, Côté, & Abernethy, 2003; Fraser-Thomas, Côté, & Deakin, 2008; Wall & Côté, 2007), we suggest that early specialization includes four specific parameters: early start age in sport; early involvement in one sport…”
