Positional group significantly influences the offensive and defensive skill involvements of junior representative rugby league players during match play

This study examined the skill involvements of three positional groups across a junior representative rugby league season. Data were collected from 45 rugby league players (mean ± SD; age = 16.5 ± 1.0 years) currently participating in the Harold Matthews and SG Ball Cup. Players were subdivided into hit-up forwards, adjustables and outside backs. The frequency (n · min^?1) of offensive, defensive and overall involvements was coded for each group using a notation system and a practical coach skill analysis tool. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed a significant effect of playing position on skill involvements (F = 9.06; P < 0.001; ES = 0.41). Hit-up forwards performed a significantly greater frequency of offensive (0.31 ± 0.10), defensive (0.42 ± 0.15) and overall involvements (0.74 ± 0.19) when compared to adjustables (0.20 ± 0.08, 0.28 ± 0.08 and 0.52 ± 0.15, respectively) and outside backs (0.20 ± 0.12, 0.11 ± 0.07 and ± 0.31 ± 0.17, respectively). Further, adjustables performed a significantly greater number of defensive (0.28 ± 0.08) and overall involvements (0.52 ± 0.15) when compared to outside backs (0.11 ± 0.07 and 0.31 ± 0.17, respectively). The findings of this study suggest that it is important to consider a junior player’s positional group when analysing their skill involvements. Information gained from this study could assist in the design of specific training methodologies for junior rugby league players in high-level talent development programmes.     

Development of perceived competence,tactical skills,motivation, technical skills,and speed and agility in young soccer players

ABSTRACT

The objective of this 1-year, longitudinal study was to examine the development of perceived competence, tactical skills, motivation, technical skills, and speed and agility characteristics of young Finnish soccer players. We also examined associations between latent growth models of perceived competence and other recorded variables. Participants were 288 competitive male soccer players ranging from 12 to 14 years (12.7 ± 0.6) from 16 soccer clubs. Players completed the self-assessments of perceived competence, tactical skills, and motivation, and participated in technical, and speed and agility tests. Results of this study showed that players’ levels of perceived competence, tactical skills, motivation, technical skills, and speed and agility characteristics remained relatively high and stable across the period of 1 year. Positive relationships were found between these levels and changes in perceived competence and motivation, and levels of perceived competence and speed and agility characteristics. Together these results illustrate the multi-dimensional nature of talent development processes in soccer. Moreover, it seems crucial in coaching to support the development of perceived competence and motivation in young soccer players and that it might be even more important in later maturing players.

对高职院校领导班子建设的几点看法

高职院校领导班子建设问题至关重要，虽得到多级党委和政府的重视。但由于种种原因仍存着一些不容忽视的问题。诸如：只讲了中的“代表”性，不注重“管用”性；不是以工作需要出发，而是从领导机关需要安排人的目的出发，缺少有组织的统一培训，管理规则还没有完全理顺。文章认为加强高职院校领导班子建设应当采取的措施是：多级党委要按“三个代表”的要求和邓小平同志干部人事制度改革的思想，高是视这项工作；进一步明确配备标准，建立，健全对实行标准的监督制约机制，大力加强了成员和后备干部的培训。     

创造教育的目的性思考

我国要在 2 1世纪激烈的国际竞争中处于主动地位 ,就必须把培养高素质人才 ,尤其是把培养社会责任感、创造精神、创新能力和综合素质摆到突出的位置。这样 ,创造教育就显得尤为重要。但创造教育的期望与目的 ,与目前的教育教学现状有诸多相悖之处 ,如不转变教育和教学思想 ,对培养模式、教学内容和教学方法进行改革 ,创造教育也只是一句空话。
