Abstract

This paper explores the complexity of developing decision- making (DM) skills in team sports. Research from the domains of motor control, perception and pedagogy ( Teaching Games for Understanding and Game Sense) has signi cantly enhanced our knowledge of DM in sport. However, such studies although contributing knowledge, have explored el- ements of DM in isolation and many have failed to consider the naturalistic context in which decisions are made. Addition- ally research has often ignored the complexity of exploring DM within a team setting. Using the Naturalistic Decision Making paradigm, this paper proposes two interconnected models designed to develop individual/team DM. Model 1 presents a layering approach where performer’s cognitions, situational factors and the performance setting are explored. Model 2 places this framework in the context of on- eld and o - eld training/competitive environments. It is envisaged that this paper will open discussions as to how researchers and practitioners develop DM skills in team sports.
