Abstract

Elite sport coaches are often expected to make high-stakes decisions in time-constrained environments, such as during matches. The quality or efficiency of these decisions is bound by context-specific constraints on their decision-making. Artificial intelligence-based tools could alleviate some of these constraints. In Australian football, it is not yet known what these context-specific constraints are, nor is there any understanding of the thoughts and perception of elite Australian football coaches towards the use of artificial intelligence to support their decision-making. This study is the first to explore these issues in the context of elite Australian football and aims to inform the effective design and integration of tools to support the in-match decision-making of coaches in a manner that is welcomed by coaches. Using semi-structured interviews with elite Australian football coaches ( n = 6) and reflexive thematic analysis, two domains were explored: ‘barriers to decision-making’ and ‘thoughts and perceptions of a decision support system (DSS)’. Coaches discussed seven ‘cognitive’ and ‘environmental’ barriers, some of which may be addressed using artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, four themes were generated for the second domain, namely ‘willingness to adopt’, ‘expectation’, ‘concern and criticism’, and ‘DSS role’. The findings enable practitioners to design tools that are intended to address some of these barriers, while also providing insights into important considerations for the implementation and design of these tools that may increase the likelihood of achieving the endorsement of elite coaches and their support staff.
澳大利亚足球比赛中教练决策的障碍,以及人工智能如何支持
优秀的体育教练经常被期望在时间有限的环境下做出高风险的决定,比如在比赛期间。这些决策的质量或效率受到其决策的特定环境约束的约束。基于人工智能的工具可以缓解其中的一些限制。在澳大利亚足球中,目前还不知道这些特定于环境的限制是什么,也不了解澳大利亚精英足球教练对使用人工智能来支持他们的决策的想法和看法。这项研究是第一次在澳大利亚精英足球的背景下探讨这些问题,旨在为有效设计和整合工具提供信息,以一种受到教练欢迎的方式支持教练的比赛决策。通过对澳大利亚精英足球教练(n = 6)的半结构化访谈和反思性主题分析,研究人员探索了两个领域:“决策障碍”和“决策支持系统(DSS)的想法和看法”。教练们讨论了七个“认知”和“环境”障碍,其中一些可以通过人工智能来解决。同时,第二个领域产生了四个主题,即“接受意愿”、“期望”、“关注和批评”和“决策支持角色”。这些发现使从业者能够设计出旨在解决这些障碍的工具,同时也为这些工具的实施和设计提供了重要的考虑因素,这些工具可能会增加获得精英教练及其支持人员认可的可能性。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
