“…For example, if a researcher is only able to implement a single-subject or case study approach, they should at the very least be sure to follow recent recommendations for best practice in these types of research designs within sport (e.g. triangulating data; see Cotterill & Schinke, 2017).…”

Goal setting is one of the most frequently used mental skills in sports, and Goal Setting Theory has been the most prominent theoretical framework upon which goal setting interventions are based. The present study provides a systematic review examining how the tenets of GST have been applied to goal setting interventions in sport. A total of 27 peer-reviewed studies written in English, which implemented goal setting interventions with athletes in a sport-specific, applied (i.e. non-laboratory) context, were examined. The studies included athletes from a range of individual and team sports. The majority of these studies were characterized by their small sample size and strong focus on performance as an outcome measure. Overall, there was inconsistent application of, and mixed evidence supporting theorizing around, the goal characteristics (goal difficulty, specificity, proximity, source, and type) and moderators (ability, commitment, feedback, complexity, and resources) suggested in GST. As the first systematic review of goal setting interventions focused exclusively on athletes in applied sport contexts, the present review provides insight for athletes, coaches, sport psychology practitioners, and researchers. Applied implications and future research directions (e.g. testing individualized goal setting interventions) are provided.

“…A single-case study aims to explore the essence of the participant's experiences from their own perspective. This single case-study design was both revelatory and unique (Yin, 2009) because it was an in-depth, in-context exploration of an elite Australian football player's retirement transition, which revealed factors that led to negative psychosocial outcomes for the athlete (Cotterill & Schinke, 2017). Cases are studied for many different reasons.…”

Retirement from elite sport is a complex and often-problematic process. The current study explores a negative case study of an athlete recently retired from a team sport (Australian Rules Football) in order to generate knowledge on how to improve the retirement process.Three semi-structured interviews were undertaken less than 5 years post retirement, and archival career records were gathered from online sources. Data were coded to construct a narrative account of the participant's career and retirement. Narrative analysis also revealed that the retirement transition from elite sports for this athlete was problematic and caused considerable personal distress. We suggest that the means of improving retirement transition and reducing harm to players include fostering alternative life narratives and increasing selfcomplexity, utilising norm appropriate communication strategies, and recognising retirement as a potential grieving period for loss of community.

“…Insight was obtained from nine Masters coaches' reflections on their AOSCS scores in a natural real-life context (Crowe et al, 2011). This case study was collective in design and followed Cotterill and Schinke's (2017) conceptualization of a case as providing a bounded context for analysis of using of the AOSCS as a resource for contemporary and underserviced coaches of MAs.…”

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS) can be used by coaches to reflect on how they coach competitive adult sports participants. There are coach (AOSCS-C) and athlete (AOSCS-A) versions. The purpose of this case study is to portray how coaches reflect on scores from the AOSCS with a coach developer. Nine coaches (White; ages 23–72; five men and four women; six sports) and their respective athletes were invited to complete the AOSCS twice during a season. Coaches were given their survey scores and undertook a debriefing interview with a coach developer. We reflected on four key topics in this dedicated professional development session: coach impressions on receiving an AOSCS personal scorecard, leveraging comparisons between coach and athlete scores, leveraging comparisons in scores over time, and misunderstandings/inadequacies of numerical scores. We reflect on meaningful interventions for coach development in adult sport.
