Expertise and expert performance in sport (2008, background): “Baker et al. (2003) found that elite players from a variety of different team sports in Australia engaged in much more ‘deliberate play’ activity in other sports during the early years of their development (defined as the ‘sampling years’ from 6 to 12 years) when compared with nonexperts.”
Three Worlds: new directions in participant development in sport and physical activity (2012, background): “Interestingly, more recent research demonstrates the achievement of excellence with less than the apocryphal 10,000 hours of deliberate practice, with such achievements often promoted by social, psychological and other environmental factors (Baker et al., 2003).”
A review of primary and secondary influences on sport expertise (2004, background): “For example, Baker et al. (2003b) found that expert athletes from basketball, netball, and field hockey accumulated significantly more hours in video training, competition, organized team practices and one-on-one coach instruction than non-expert athletes.”
Developing football expertise: a football-specific research review (2012, background): “, 1993) and mathematics (Gustin, 1985) and sports such as tennis (Monsaas, 1985), long distance running (Wallingford, 1975), swimming (Kalinowski, 1985), basketball, field hockey and netball (Baker et al., 2003) (for overview, see Williams & Ford, 2008).”
Examining Adolescent Sport Dropout and Prolonged Engagement from a Developmental Perspective (2008, background): “For example, Baker, Cote, and Abernethy (2003) suggested that children's involvement in a diversity of sports also leads to elite performance later in development, because young athletes develop general capabilities applicable in a variety of sports.”
The road to excellence: deliberate practice and the development of expertise (2007, background): “In particular, we hypothesized that elite players would spend a greater amount of time in sports perceived to be structurally similar, rather than dissimilar team or individual sports, games or activities (see Baker et al. 2003; Côté et al, 2001; Côté & Hay, 2002).”
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).”
The benefits of sampling sports during childhood (2009, background): “Research has demonstrated that some athletes who had diversified sport backgrounds and engaged in deliberate play during childhood still reached an elite level in sport ( Baker, Cote, & Abernethy, 2003; Baker, Cote, & Deakin, 2005; Soberlak & Cote, 2003).”
Characteristics of expert development in rhythmic gymnastics: A retrospective study (2007, background): “For example, Baker, Côté, and Abernethy (2003b) found that involvement in competition (i .e ., deliberate play) was rated during a retrospective interview as the most important form of training by expert athletes in team sports .”
ISSP position stand: To sample or to specialize? Seven postulates about youth sport activities that lead to continued participation and elite performance (2009, background): “, Baker et al., 2003; Bloom, 1985; Côté, 1999; Helsen et al., 1998), identifying the investment years as the period in which elite athletes are devoted to specialized training. In a review of developmental factors that affect sport participation, Patel, Pratt, and Greydanus (2002) suggested that lat”
