the developmental model of sport participation 15 years after its first conceptualization
Science & Sports, 2014Co-Authors: Jean Cote, Matthew VierimaaAbstract:Summary The Developmental Model of Sport Participation (DMSP) is a model of athlete development which has been comprehensively researched and refined over the last 15 years. The DMSP is based upon theoretical and empirical data and describes the processes, pathways, and outcomes associated with sport development throughout childhood and adolescence. Cote, Lidor, and Hackfort (in 2009) proposed seven postulates associated with the different pathways of the DMSP. More specifically, five postulates focus on the influence of sampling and Deliberate Play on youth's participation, performance, and personal development in sport and two postulates focused on important transitions. The purpose of the present article is to systematically grade the quality of empirical evidence supporting each of these seven postulates, and provide recommendations for best practice to help guide sport policy in each of these areas.

positive youth development in the context of organized sport and Deliberate Play
Journal of Exercise Movement and Sport (SCAPPS refereed abstracts repository), 2010Co-Authors: Jean Cote, Mark W BrunerAbstract:The positive youth development literature provides a number of different frameworks that can be used to conceptualize the "development of athletes." In particular, the 5Cs – Competence, Confidence, Connection, Character, and Caring/Compassion (Lerner, Fisher, & Weinberg, 2000) can be hypothesized as desirable outcomes that should emerge from regular participation in sport. Cote and colleagues (Cote, Bruner, Erickson, Strachan, & Fraser-Thomas, 2010) recently reviewed the sport literature and proposed collapsing the 5Cs into 4Cs (Competence, Confidence, Connection, Character/Caring). This step was taken given the frequent integration of caring/compassion within the character development literature in sport (e.g., Shields & Bredemeier, 1995) and the overlap between these three constructs (i.e., character, caring, and compassion). The 4Cs represent a promising framework to conceptualize and examine youth development in organized and non-organized (i.e., Deliberate Play; Cote, 1999; Cote, Baker, & Abernethy, 2007) sport settings. This presentation will focus on the benefits of using the 4Cs to evaluate the impact of sport participation on youth development. Specifically, the two different contexts of youth sport participation that differ in the degree of youth and adult influence, organized sport and Deliberate Play, will be contrasted as potentially providing distinct developmental experiences.

issp position stand to sample or to specialize seven postulates about youth sport activities that lead to continued participation and elite performance
International journal of sport and exercise psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Jean Cote, Ronnie Lidor, Dieter HackfortAbstract:Abstract A comprehensive approach to sport expertise should consider the entire situation that is comprised of the person, the task, the environment, and the complex interPlay of these components (Hackfort, 1986). Accordingly, the Developmental Model of Sport Participation (Cote, Baker, & Abernethy, 2007; Cote & Fraser‐Thomas, 2007) provides a comprehensive framework for sport expertise that outlines different pathways of involvement in sport. In pathways one and two, early sampling serves as the foundation for both elite and recreational sport participation. Early sampling is based on two main elements of childhood sport participation: 1) involvement in various sports and 2) participation in Deliberate Play. In contrast, pathway three shows the course to elite performance through early specialization in one sport. Early specialization implies a focused involvement on one sport and a large number of Deliberate practice activities with the goal of improving sport skills and performance during childhood. Th...

The contribution of structured activity and Deliberate Play to the development of expert perceptual and decision-making skill.
Journal of sport & exercise psychology, 2008Co-Authors: Jason Berry, Bruce Abernethy, Jean CoteAbstract:The developmental histories of 32 Players in the Australian Football League (AFL), independently classified as either expert or less skilled in their perceptual and decision-making skills, were collected through a structured interview process and their year-on-year involvement in structured and Deliberate Play activities retrospectively determined. Despite being drawn from the same elite level of competition, the expert decision-makers differed from the less skilled in having accrued, during their developing years, more hours of experience in structured activities of all types, in structured activities in invasion-type sports, in invasion-type Deliberate Play, and in invasion activities from sports other than Australian football. Accumulated hours invested in invasion-type activities differentiated between the groups, suggesting that it is the amount of invasion-type activity that is experienced and not necessarily intent (skill development or fun) or specificity that facilitates the development of perceptual and decision-making expertise in this team sport.

Developmental activities that lead to dropout and investment in sport
Physical Education & Sport Pedagogy, 2007Co-Authors: Michael Wall, Jean CoteAbstract:Background: Studies suggest that expert performance in sport is the result of long-term engagement in a highly specialized form of training termed Deliberate practice. The relationship between accumulated Deliberate practice and performance predicts that those who begin Deliberate practice at a young age accumulate more practice hours over time and would, therefore, have a significant performance advantage. However, qualitative studies have shown that a large amount of sport-specific practice at a young age may lead to negative consequences, such as dropout, and is not necessarily the only path to expert performance in sport. Studies have yet to investigate the activity context, such as the amount of early sport participation, Deliberate Play and Deliberate practice within which dropout occurs. Purpose: To determine whether the nature and amount of childhood-organized sport, Deliberate Play and Deliberate practice participation influence athletes' subsequent decisions to drop out or invest in organized sp...

Introducing children to rugby: elite coaches’ perspectives on positive Player development
Qualitative Research in Sport Exercise and Health, 2013Co-Authors: Gethin Thomas, Mark R. WilsonAbstract:The overall aim of the study was to identify what elite coaches believed were the key components for organised rugby union participation during childhood (7–11 years old). Nine elite male rugby union coaches participated in individual semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis identified the importance of an age-appropriate competitive games pathway, where more specialised skills were built sequentially on top of the foundations of basic evasion, handling and tackling skills. The findings were generally supportive of the principles of the developmental model of sports participation (DMSP). In particular, elite coaches identified that an emphasis on less-structured games (Deliberate Play) and early diversification (sampling) were beneficial for Player development in the mini rugby years (under 12). However, contrary to a strict interpretation of the DMSP, the coaches also identified that appropriate adult involvement and organised competition could be beneficial to development in these sampling years.

To Sample or to Specialize? Five Postulates about Childhood Sport Activities that Lead to Continued Participation and Elite Performance
2007Co-Authors: Cote Jean, Ronnie Lidor, Dieter HackfortAbstract:The Developmental Model of Sport Participation (Cote & Fraser-Thomas, 2007) provides a framework that outlines different pathways of involvement in sport. In pathways one and two, the sampling years serve as the foundation to both elite and recreational sport participation. On the other hand, pathway three shows the path for elite performance through specialization in one sport from ages 6-12. This paper proposes five postulates regarding the role that sampling and Deliberate Play can have during childhood, as opposed to specialization and Deliberate practice, in promoting continued participation and elite performance in sport. The five postulates are: 1) sampling during childhood does not hinder elite sport participation in sports where peak performance is reached after maturation (Baker, Cote, & Abernethy, 2003; Soberlak & Cote, 2003); 2) sampling during childhood is linked to a longer sport career and has positive implications for long-term sport involvement (Barynina & Vaitsekhovskii, 1992; Wall & Cote, 2007); 3) sampling during childhood allows participation in a range of contexts that most favorably affects positive youth development (Fredricks and Eccles, 2006; Wright & Cote, 2003); 4) high amounts of Deliberate Play during childhood builds a solid foundation of intrinsic motivation through involvement in activities that are enjoyable and promote intrinsic regulation (Gilbert, Cote, Harada, Marchbanks & Gilbert, 2002); and 5) high amounts of Deliberate Play during childhood establish a range of motor and cognitive experiences that the child can ultimately bring to their principal sport of interest (Soberlak & Cote, 2003).

The Development of Music Expertise: Applications of the Theories of Deliberate Practice and Deliberate Play
Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, 2021Co-Authors: Jackie LordoAbstract:Musicians and athletes share many common traits. Both groups learn a combination of physical and mental skills to attain expert status. In this literature review, I provide a short history of research on expertise development and two models: Bloom’s model of expertise development and the Developmental Model of Sport Participation. The Bloom model categorizes learning activities between combinations of free Play and Deliberate practice throughout the three stages of development. However, Developmental Model of Sport Participation includes a new category, Deliberate Play, which combines aspects of Play and Deliberate practice. Research indicating music learning through Deliberate practice, Deliberate Play, and music Play is presented. If students are able to learn through the more enjoyable Deliberate Play and music Play, teachers should consider including these activities to better match developmental stages and potentially improve retention. Implications for future research and music teachers are discussed.
