“…Specifically, reflecting on different nutritional approaches was a source of knowledge and experiencing the embodied consequences of these strategies led to changes in Additionally, practitioners described providing formal workshops and individual advice to athletes. Related to this, how practitioners care for athletes in sport contexts has received some recent attention, with authors calling for an ethic of care in high performance sport (Cronin et al, 2020;Fisher et al, 2019). In keeping with this theme, some sport nutrition practitioners articulated practices such as paying attention to and collaborating with female athletes to support their complex nutritional needs: So, we work on grams per kilo and we've got ranges for the group in terms of where we think people should be at on different days and at different phases and then that's sort of individualised based on some Importantly, data from the thematic analysis also revealed that in contrast to the other participants, three practitioners (two of whom were female) did not consider menstrual or contraceptive status to be linked to athlete nutrition or performance: I couldn't tell you off the top of my head, who was or wasn't on contraception unless I went specifically asking, the medics.…”

In response to the ongoing sex data gap, the present study provides a qualitative exploration of females’ nutritional experiences in elite sporting environments. Semistructured interviews were conducted with multiple participant groups (n = 18), including athletes (n = 7), practitioners (n = 6), and researchers (n = 5) across differing disciplines within professional sporting organizations and/or national governing bodies. Combined content and thematic analysis provided an insight into the specific factors influencing current sport nutrition practices. A common theme highlighted among all participant groups was the paradoxical struggle between adequate fueling for training and competition demands, and the fear this may impact body mass and body composition goals. This tension was identified as being rooted within athletes’ perceptions of body image and driven by other participant groups and wider societal ideals. Each participant group also highlighted influences on cravings and approaches to food and dietary supplementation, centered around individual perceptions and challenges driven by symptomology associated with the female menstrual cycle and contraceptive use. To address these challenges, all participant groups called for more research to inform future change and continuing education pathways. In summary, this study contributes to providing a more complete understanding of elite female athlete sport nutrition experiences than currently exists. Multiple perspectives highlight the complexity of providing sport nutrition support to elite female athlete populations and directs future research, and practice, to reconsider one-size-fits-all approaches and acknowledge unique individual contexts which may influence these areas.

“…Further, caring relationships have recently been proposed as key in ensuring high performance sport is sustainable and allowing personal, educational and performance development to be pursued simultaneously (e.g., Fisher et al, 2019;Lindgren & Barker-Ruchti, 2017). While these features show clear overlap with previous research, this study is the first to also evidence links to positive personal and educational developmental outcomes within the context of elite youth soccer.…”

“…Our findings specifically support the importance of perceiving the environment as supportive with an emphasis on holistically understanding and developing athletes, as well as being characterized by a set of coherent espoused and enacted values. Further, caring relationships have recently been proposed as key in ensuring high-performance sport is sustainable and allowing personal, educational and performance development to be pursued simultaneously (e.g., Fisher et al, 2019; Lindgren & Barker-Ruchti, 2017).

The professionalisation of soccer academies has intensified, with youth players exposed to demanding performance focused environments in pursuit of a career in the professional game. Yet, academies are also under increasing pressure to show that they develop players who can function in life beyond soccer. Therefore, this study explored the retrospective views of 13 ex-elite UK youth academy soccer players on whether their time within the academy provided developmental experiences that prepared them for life beyond soccer. We interviewed seven players who successfully progressed into professional contracts and six who did not. Players were recruited from two different academies to explore the developmental outcomes they associated with academy involvement and to unpick how those outcomes were achieved. Our findings showed that, promisingly, time in the academy provided both contracted and non-contracted players with transferable life skills as well as open educational and vocational doorsresulting in the majority of players leaving the environment being '(more) ready' for life. However, these outcomes are not 'automatic' and were highly dependent on the interaction between three developmental contextual themes; i) what was demanded by the academy context, ii) what was encouraged within the academy context, and iii) the quality of interpersonal relationships. Beyond this, players' attitudes, histories and wider socio-contextual influences were important in shaping (future) outcomes. With an eye on providing worthwhile experiences for all youth athletes involved, these findings provide insight into how academy contexts can simultaneously promote performance alongside positive developmental outcomes.

“…Parents are generally anxious if their children, who are young athletes and students, experience negative attitudes towards their children. The social attitude in this study can be defined as someone who has empathy, task orientation, ego orientation (Fisher et al, 2019). The results showed that the training model based on comprehensive teaching-learning had a significant effect on social attitudes at the ages of 10 and 11, while at the age of 12 the training model had an effect but it was not significant.…”

The study purpose was to determine the effect of a comprehensive teaching learning-based training model on the skills and social attitudes of young football players. Materials and methods. This is an experimental study with a sample of 36 male football athletes aged 10-12 years. Samples are players who registered and trained at the Real Madrid Foundation Yogyakarta football school. Samples attended training with a frequency of 3x/week with a minimum attendance of 80% in 20 weeks and were selected to participate in district or provincial football competitions. The instrument used for measuring football technical skills was the David Lee test, and for social attitudes the Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior Sport Scale (PABSS) questionnaire was used. The data analysis technique was the paired sample t-test. Results. The results showed that the comprehensive teaching learning-based training model affected the skills and social attitudes of young football players. In the 10 year age group, there was an influence on skills of 1.497 and social behavior of 2.750, which means that it is influential. In the 11 year age group, it was found that the effect on skills was 0.506 and social behavior was -2.812, which means that there was no effect on social behavior. In the 12 year age group, it was found that the effect on skills was 0.19 and social behavior was 1.148, which meant that it affected. Conclusions. Young football coaches can make a comprehensive teaching learning-based training model as a choice of strategies in the development of performance skills and personality.
