Abstract

The purpose of this two-part study was to examine the role of psychological factors within the delivery of video feedback in elite youth football. Interviews were conducted with 11 coaches and 12 players. A thematic content analysis yielded data relating to three general dimensions: (a) the psychological responses engaged during delivery; (b) the impact of using a range of delivery strategies; and (c) the impact of the delivery climate surrounding practice. The findings suggest that a greater appreciation of these factors would add significant value to the way coaches, sport scientists, and athletes currently use video technology for performance enhancement.

FUNDING

This study formed part of a doctoral thesis funded by The English Football Association.

Notes

1 Video self-modeling is a process whereby athletes learn from images of their own adaptive behavior as seen on videotape, allowing individuals to view themselves being successful, acting appropriately, or performing new tasks.
