“…Several sports studies using this situated approach have developed situated analyses in various domains of sporting concerns, such as performance (e.g., Rochat et al, 2018 ), learning (e.g., Rochat et al, 2020 ), and coaching (e.g., D'Arripe-Longueville et al, 2001 ). Notably, studies in the field of the antidoping sciences have investigated the emergence of substance use over athletes' careers and identified the meaningful components of the situations linked to doping (e.g., Hauw, 2013 ).…”

Several studies have revealed the abusive behaviors directed against athletes in various sports contexts, but knowledge about the processes by which the athletes realize and accept or reject maltreatment is underdeveloped. Thus, it is difficult to establish a solid scientific basis for characterizing the mechanisms of maltreatment from the athletes' perspective regarding the forms of maltreatment they endure and the impact on their performance and wellbeing. The main goals of this paper are to show how the enactive approach (including theoretical assumptions and methodological standards) can meet these challenges, as it is well-suited to (a) describe the evolving interactions between athletes and the sports situations that lead to maltreatment (i.e., navigating in the gray area of coach-athlete relationships), (b) identify those alert landmarks that help us assess the level of risk of athlete maltreatment, and (c) provide concrete guidelines to prevent and deal with sports-related maltreatment. We illustrate our approach by a case study that examines the experience of a retired high-level boxer who faced several forms of maltreatment. Our results reveal a dynamic change in the interactions between the boxer and the maltreatment situations that led her through (a) Acceptance (i.e., future-oriented positive involvement), (b) Regulation attempt (i.e., negative feelings about weight loss, exhaustion and loneliness, questioning the compromise between performance and health, acceptance and loneliness), (c) Distancing (i.e., reopening to others) and (d) Rejection (i.e., rebellion and the decision to stand up to her coach and leave). Based on our results, we present concrete guidelines to prevent and address sports-related maltreatment, with four progressive alert landmarks that help situate the athlete in the gray area of coach-athlete relationships and suggest a “timeline” of maltreatment escalation with key warnings.

“…However, we preceded to highlight interindividual differences in learning dynamics. Moreover, a case study that used the same variable practice protocol as in [ 52 ] within additional post sessions phenomenological interviews, revealed that participants can also voluntarily limit their exploration of some climbing coordination patterns during practice if they feel unsafe when performing them [ 53 ]. Thus, although inducing external variability may “force” exploration, exploration in engaging activities such as climbing also requires the participants to intend to it.…”

(1) Background: Uncertainty in extreme sports performance environments, such as climbing, provides considerable psycho-emotional and physiological demands, notably due to the many different environments in which climbing can be performed. This variety of environments, conditions of practice and engagement would challenge the acquisition of perceptual-motor skills; (2) Methods: To better understand how perceptual-motor skills are controlled and acquired in climbing, we proposed a narrative review anchored in the ecological dynamics theoretical framework and showed how this theoretical framework would support a nonlinear pedagogy to skill acquisition and to design safe learning and training situations that are representative of extreme performance contexts; (3) Results: We explained three theoretical pillars and we provide examples for design intervention following nonlinear pedagogy, notably (i) to set a constraint-led approach (in particular task constraint), (ii) to implement conditions of practice (constant vs. variable, imposed vs. self-controlled), (iii) to promote adaptive and creative behavioral variability during practice; (4) Conclusions: The challenge for the extreme sport practitioner is how to set up conditions of practice for efficient exploration in a manner that manages the dangers of performing in uncertain environments. Representing uncertainty within the relative safety of indoor settings may be one approach for preparing climbers for performance in extreme environments.

“…As the datasets in this type of study are often complex, many researchers have moved from a mixed-methods approach (see Anguera et al, 2017 ) to joint-methods (see e.g., Poizat et al, 2012 ; Sève et al, 2013 ; R’Kiouak et al, 2016 ; Hauw et al, 2017 ; Seifert et al, 2017 ; Rochat et al, 2020 ). The former refers to the practice of juxtaposing and/or comparing qualitative and quantitative data to cross-correlate specific aspects of experience with possible behavioral outcomes (see e.g., Vors et al, 2019 ), whereas the latter instead uses two domains of evidence to enrich an initial analysis based on data with a specific format.…”

Creative Togetherness. A Joint-Methods Analysis of Collaborative Artistic Performance

In the present study, we combined first-, second-, and third-person levels of analysis to explore the feeling of being and acting together in the context of collaborative artistic performance. Following participation in an international competition held in Czech Republic in 2018, a team of ten artistic swimmers took part in the study. First, a self-assessment instrument was administered to rate the different aspects of togetherness emerging from their collective activity; second, interviews based on video recordings of their performance were conducted individually with all team members; and third, the performance was evaluated by external artistic swimming experts. By combining these levels of analysis in different ways, we explore how changes in togetherness and lived experience in individual behavior may shape, disrupt, and (re-)stabilize joint performance. Our findings suggest that the experience of being and acting together is transient and changing, often alternating phases of decrease and increase in felt togetherness that can be consistently recognized by swimmers and external raters.
