• Attentional focus in endurance activity: new paradigms and future directions (2014, methodology): “Specifically, applying recommendations outlined by Côté, Ericsson, and Law (2005), and Ericsson and Simon (1993), the episodic data gathered using technological devices may be used to stimulate more accurate and reliable recall of thoughts during subsequent retrospective interviews.”
• Why Some Make It and Others Do Not: Identifying Psychological Factors That Predict Career Success in Professional Adult Soccer (2009, background): “The resource constraint has typically been measured as a social constraint ( Cote, Ericsson, & Law, 2005 ), and includes resources such as access to coaches and school and homework support.”
• Developmental activities that lead to dropout and investment in sport (2007, methodology): “This interview was adapted from guidelines to collect the same information from athletes (Côté et al., 2005).”
• The road to excellence: deliberate practice and the development of expertise (2007, background): “Physical and playtype activities may be fundamental for learning initial cognitive and movement skills and may allow preliminary mental representations necessary for expert performance to be established (Beamer et al., 1999; Ericsson, 1998; see also Côté et al., 2005).”
• The role of deliberate practice and play in career progression in sport: the early engagement hypothesis (2009, result): “This progression from play to practice and from diversity to specificity has been supported in studies in which researchers have used structured interviews (Cote, Ericsson, & Law, 2005 ) to trace the development of elite and sub‐elite Australian team sport players (eg, Baker et al, 2003a , 2003b ”
• Applied Research Sport Experiences, Milestones, and Educational Activities Associated With High-Performance Coaches' Development (2007, methodology): “…interview contains preset questions designed to collect demographic information and assess coaches’ previous experiences as athletes, as coaches, and in formal education, with questions based on the principles of reliable and valid retrospective data collection outlined by Côté et al. (2005).”
• An Evaluation of Personal and Contextual Factors in Competitive Youth Sport (2009, background): “Despite enjoyment often being a difficult construct to measure ( Cote, Ericsson, & Law, 2005 ), it is a positive indicator of the sport experience and is crucial to understanding youth participation in sport ( Wiersma, 2001 ).”
