“…Nevertheless, Leota and Turp (2020) take opposing positions on gamesmanship. They consider gamesmanship to be a "strategic excellence and proper part of sport " (p.231) but Howe (2004) considers hard forms of gamesmanship to be against the excellence of sport if they violate the rule.…”

“…There are numerous reasons for saying this. Howe (2004) contends that gamesmanship impedes athletic excellence by allowing players to use non-prescribed skills, but Leota and Turp (2020) contend that there are no prescribed skills in sport, only prescribed goals to achieve (p.234). If the rules do not prescribe a skill to achieve that goal, it must fall under athletic excellence or within the rules.…”

Each sport has an allotted area for innovative tactics and strategies, while some sports go beyond the sporting rules and regulations. The use of present-day technologies in sports has helped teams and management better understand their rivals’ strategies and tactics through tactical and strategic analysis, and the teams always look for such type of resources to prepare their teams accordingly. The use of sports technology at various levels, from training to officiating a match, itself might reveal a team’s tactics and strategies to its opponents and to a greater group, which could influence the team’s plan and the way it has been executed. For an instance, different umpiring technologies are used in the sports like cricket to execute the game in a fair manner. Imagine a scenario where umpiring technology invades the privacy of the players' tactics and strategies by disclosing them while officiating the game. In the meantime, the implementation of umpiring technology has not been investigated from the perspective of athletes’ tactical and strategic privacy. Therefore, this research paper aims to investigate the dimensions of umpiring technology in sports in relation to strategic and tactical privacy and to imply how the responsible uses of sports technology can be made for the betterment of overall sports. In the process, this research investigates concepts of strategy, tactics, and privacy in relation to pertinent ideas like gamesmanship in sports. Following that, these concepts are applied in a couple of cases in international cricket matches, demonstrating whether the sports technology can reveal a team’s tactical and strategic privacy to various parties. In a broader sense, this research can assist individuals in comprehending various aspects of using sports technology responsibly.

Zusammenfassung: Im Leistungssport scheint es nicht selten um ein „Gewinnen um jeden Preis“ zu gehen: Wo liegen die Grenzen zwischen regelkonformem, cleverem, taktischem Verhalten im Umgang mit dem Gegner oder der Gegnerin und unfairem, unmoralischem Handeln? Wie sollten sich Sportpsychologinnen und Sportpsychologen dazu positionieren? Ausgehend von Praxisbeispielen widmet sich dieser Beitrag dem Forschungsstand zu Winning Ugly und Trash Talk in der Praxis des Leistungssports. Als Rahmenkonzept für eine vertiefte Diskussion und die Ableitung erster Konsequenzen und Interventionsmöglichkeiten vor allem im Fußball, wird ein ökosystemischer Zugang gewählt. Dieser diskutiert Erscheinungsformen, potentielle psychologische Ursachen und Zusammenhänge für Spieler_in, Trainer_in, Mannschaft, Eltern und Verein. Die so charakterisierte Praxis des „Gewinnen um jeden Preis“ wird vor dem Hintergrund der Verwendung von injunktiven und deskriptiven Normen und Werten im System Leistungssport diskutiert. Mit Bezug zum professionellen Handeln in der Angewandten Sportpsychologie werden abschließend Thesen im Umgang mit beispielhaften Winning Ugly Verhaltensweisen zur Diskussion gestellt.
