Circumstantial development and athletic excellence: The role of date of birth and birthplace (2009, background): “For example, Baker and Horton's ( 2004 ) model of primary and secondary influences on skill acquisition presumes that factors such as training and genetic predisposition are primary determinants of expertise but the ability to exploit these intra-individual factors is governed by a number of interac”
Play and practice in the development of sport‐specific creativity in team ball sports (2010, background): “Furthermore, Baker and Horton (2004) hypothesized that unique contextual factors associated with different sports would affect the amount and type of training required for expertise development.”
Annual Age-Grouping and Athlete Development (2009, background): “Events associated with selection, trials or talent identification are thus postulated to differentiate an individual’s ability to invest in practice and accumulate sport-specific skill and experience, factors deemed critical for attainment.([31,32]) Selection and exposure to practice and match-play ”
Compromising Talent: Issues in Identifying and Selecting Talent in Sport (2018, background): “Practice is clearly necessary, but it may not be sufficient: genes, resources, and luck are also likely important (Baker & Horton, 2004).”
Why Some Make It and Others Do Not: Identifying Psychological Factors That Predict Career Success in Professional Adult Soccer (2009, background): “Psychological factors (in addition to factors such as motor skills and biometric qualities) are recognized as critical for the acquisition of sport expertise (e.g., Abbott & Collins, 2002; Baker & Horton, 2004; Bloom, 1985; Cote, Baker, & Abernethy, 2003; Durand-Bush & Salmela, 2002; Vaeyens, Leno”
Mental Qualities and Employed Mental Techniques of Young Elite Team Sport Athletes (2010, background): “A key consideration for the focus of MST programs, as athletes progress through the stages assumed in the DMSP, is the distinction between the psychological characteristics needed for the acquisition of expertise and those necessary to manifest (i.e., demonstrate) expertise (Baker & Horton, 2004).”
The role of ecological constraints on expertise development (2010, methodology): “The importance of putative secondary influences is being investigated, by considering the influence of cultural importance, instructional resources, familial support, sport maturity, and depth of competition (Baker & Horton, 2004).”
Towards a model of talent development in physical education (2006, unknown): “Little genetic research has specifically examined elite performers, focusing instead on the general population (Baker and Horton, 2004), so it is inadvisable to extrapolate findings to this group.”
The Role of Psychological Characteristics in Facilitating the Pathway to Elite Performance Part 1: Identifying Mental Skills and Behaviors (2010, result): “These findings support considerable evidence in the literature that families appear to play a crucial role in socializing individuals into sport (cf. Baker & Horton, 2004).”
Three Worlds: new directions in participant development in sport and physical activity (2012, background): “So, even if a young athlete has the physical attributes to succeed in sport, the potential to develop is also dependent on other determinants of success such as commitment, motivation and the availability of developmental opportunities (Abbott & Collins, 2004; Baker & Horton, 2004).”
