Summary

Introduction

The ability of team sports’ coaches to manage task constraints in training practices is paramount to develop players and teams’ performance (Potrac, Brewer, Jones, Armour, & Hoff, 2000). Under this scope, some intervention models have been proposed in the literature in an attempt to identify the key knowledge and competences of successful sport coaches (Cushion, Armour, & Jones, 2006). Among the different skills that a coach uses, the ability to communicate with players and to focus their attention on tasks is a key issue (Potrac et al, 2000) For instance, the correct design of practice tasks or the correct use of verbal instruction are fundamental skills for the development of physical, technical, and tactical skills (Aguiar, Botelho, Gonçalves, & Sampaio, 2013; Travassos, Duarte, Vilar, Davids, & Araújo, 2012; Williams & Hodges, 2005).
