However, to date, explicitation techniques have not been used within actual coaching sessions to enable the coach to gain greater insight into players’ decision-making experiences. The aim of the study was to develop the use of explicitation techniques as a pedagogical tool within coaching sessions. As the coach, I (the first author) was one of the participants in the study. I recruited five Korfball players (M = 2, F = 3, aged between 21 and 26 years) as participants to develop my use of explicitation techniques with. The study used an Action Research (AR) approach and data collection methods included audio recordings of the explicitation techniques, fieldnotes, analytic memos and focus groups. Thematic data analysis was used to identify trends and patterns and make sense of the multiple sources of data. The findings...

A discriminant performance indicator on winning a volleyball set is the effectiveness of attack after reception – i.e., side out attack. So, it is important for coaches’ future interventions to identify how expert setters deal with unsuccessful side out attacks. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze, in an elite level competitive context, the setter’s decision making after a failed side out attack. A total of 44 matches were analyzed from the 2014 and the 2018 Men’s World Championships and the 2016 Olympic Games. The sample included all lost side out sequences (SO1), followed by the subsequent side out play (SO2), which resulted in a final sample of 499 “side out” sequences. Results indicated that after a failed side out, using a faster attack tempo was the best way to win the rally, and that in more than half of the sample, setters inverse their setting from SO1 to SO2. Our findings are informative for volleyball coaching, specifically for setting practice, athlete development, in-game decision making and scouting.
