• An examination of the importance of performances in youth and junior competition as an indicator of later success in tennis (2012, methodology): “For example, research has shown that physical skills, psychological preparation and social support should also be taken into account when analysing youth performances (Abbott & Collins, 2004; Hoare & Warr, 2000; Reilly et al., 2000).”
• Psychological talent predictors in early adolescence and their empirical relationship with current and future performance in soccer (2016, background): “Some of the studies compared players who were already highly differentiated in their competition level (i.e., players in youth academies of professional clubs vs. players on local or school teams; e.g., Kavussanu et al., 2011; Reilly et al., 2000).”
• Evidence for the social construction of ability in physical education (2010, background): “…child’s latent potential to achieve in particular sports can be identified through a battery of measurements focusing on the anthropometric, physiological and psychological characteristics of young people and subsequently fostered (Pienaar et al., 1998; Reilly et al., 2000; Abbott & Collins, 2002).”
• Developing football expertise: a football-specific research review (2012, background): “The developmental process from youth player to expert in football is therefore complex, and dependent on various interacting personal and circumstantial factors (Neto, Barbieri, Barbieri, & Gobbi, 2009 ; Reilly, Bangsbo & Franks, 2000 ).”
• ISSP position stand: To test or not to test? The use of physical skill tests in talent detection and in early phases of sport development (2009, background): “In another team activity, soccer, the most discriminating measures between elite and sub-elite 15-16 year-old players were agility, sprint time, and anticipation skill (Reilly et al., 2000).”
• Testing soccer players (2005, background): “Reilly et al. (2000) reported that performance on the multiple-sprint test was significantly better for elite than sub-elite youth soccer players, with elite players recording lower mean velocities and higher fatigue indices than the sub-elite players.”
• Agility literature review: Classifications, training and testing (2006, background): “Test batteries have revealed that athletes in sports such as rugby and soccer, who perform better on CODS tests, tend also to have lower body fat (Gabbett, 2002; Meir et al., 2001; Reilly et al., 2000; Rigg & Reilly, 1987).”
