The role of deliberate practice and play in career progression in sport: the early engagement hypothesis (2009, background): “For example, expert ice hockey players reported engaging in 6.0 other sports during this period (Soberlak & Côté, 2003), whereas experts from other team sports participated in 8.6 other sports (Baker et al., 2003a).”
Tracing the Development of Athletes Using Retrospective Interview Methods: A Proposed Interview and Validation Procedure for Reported Information (2005, unknown): “Recent studies (Baker, Côté, & Abernethy, 2003a; Côté, 1999; Soberlak & Côté, 2003) have shown that not only does the amount of practice increase but also the structure and type of activities change as a function of the age of the child athlete.”
Parenting in youth sport: A position paper on parenting expertise. (2015, background): “Similarly, studies with elite performers consistently 9 illustrate the value of sampling a variety of sports during their formative sporting years (e.g., 10 Bloom, 1985; Côté, 1999; Soberlak & Côté, 2003; Wuerth et al., 2004).”
Talent Development in Elite Junior Tennis: Perceptions of Players, Parents, and Coaches (2005, background): “It has been shown that elite athletes engage in deliberate play in the sampling years, but through the specializing and investment years deliberate play decreases while involvement in deliberate practice increases (Soberlak & Côté, 2003).”
ISSP position stand: To sample or to specialize? Seven postulates about youth sport activities that lead to continued participation and elite performance (2009, background): “Soberlak and Côté (2003) showed that elite hockey players spent slightly more time in deliberate play activities than deliberate practice activities before age 20.”
What do we know about early sport specialization? Not much! (2009, background): “In addition to this play‐like involvement, elite athletes also report involvement in a range of different sports prior to specialization (Baker et al, 2003 ; Cote, 1999 ; Hill, 1993 ; Soberlak & Cote, 2003 ).”
Evidence-based policies for youth sport programmes (2016, methodology): “Qualitative and quantitative studies have demonstrated that high amounts of deliberate play in elite tennis (Carlson 1988, Côté 1999), rowing (Côté 1999), ice hockey (Soberlak and Côté 2003) and baseball (Hill 1993) were associated with elite performance in adulthood.”
Characteristics of expert development in rhythmic gymnastics: A retrospective study (2007, background): “…study did not sample a wide variety of activities before they invested in rhythmic gymnastics, thus failing to follow the same developmental sequence as the team-sport athletes and triathletes studied by Côté and colleagues (Baker et al ., 2003a; Baker et al ., 2005; Soberlak & Côté, 2003) .”
An appraisal of athlete development models through citation network analysis (2010, unknown): “Of note, six of the 11 most central are not model articles (Baker, Côté, & Abernethy, 2003; Côté, Ericsson, & Law, 2005; Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002; Stambulova, 2000; Soberlak & Côté, 2003; Williams & Reilly, 2000).”
Talent development in sport: A critical review of pathways to expert performance (2016, background): “Indeed, research in sport has shown that expert athletes have usually accumulated between 4000 to 6000 hours of sport-specific practice before reaching an expert level of performance.(35,48,51,52) For instance, Baker et al.”
The Standard Model of Talent Development and Its Discontents (2013, background): “…highly structured practice may not be essential for early skill acquisition during childhood: Some athletes who had diversified sport backgrounds and engaged in deliberate play during childhood still reached an elite level (Baker et al., 2003; Baker, Côté, & Deakin, 2005; Soberlak & Côté, 2003).”
Youth sport programs: an avenue to foster positive youth development (2005, background): “The DMSP is built on Côté and colleagues’ (Côté, 1999; Gilbert et al., 2002; Baker et al., 2003; Beamer & Côté, 2003; Soberlak & Côté, 2003; Baker et al., in press) research with expert athletes, and integrates many of the concepts suggested by the NRCIM (2002) and Benson (1997) to be…”
Developmental activities that lead to dropout and investment in sport (2007, methodology): “To date, studies using the DMSP as a framework have found that expert athletes in rowing, tennis, basketball, netball, triathlon and ice hockey follow a path consistent with that outlined by the model (Baker et al., 2003; Soberlak & Côté, 2003; Baker et al., 2005).”
20 years later: deliberate practice and the development of expertise in sport (2014, background): “…to obtain expert-level performance (e.g. triathletes, Baker et al., 2005; dart players, Duffy, Baluch, & Ericsson, 2004; gymnastics, Law et al., 2007), others required less than 4000 hours (expert decision-makers in team sports, Baker et al. 2003a; ice-hockey players, Soberlak & Côté, 2003).”
