A university-based study examining how a 14-week football teaching programme influenced declarative tactical knowledge in Sport Sciences students. The research explores how coach education can integrate tactical understanding, representative learning and constraints-led pedagogy to improve coaching-related decision making.

This paper looks at how learning is approached in high performance sport and questions the limits of more traditional methods. The authors argue that preparation time should be used in a way that directly influences performance, not treated as something separate from it. From this perspective, learning is understood through the relationship between the player and the environment, which can look different in training compared to competition (Button et al., 2020b). Using an ecological dynamics lens, the paper suggests that practice design should better reflect the conditions of the game, so that what players experience in training connects more clearly to what they face in performance.
