Sports Official Decision-Making is a timely text that will help officiating educators and academics better account for decision-making demands and constraints in performance to reimagine and enhance tools and approaches to assist with the transfer of skills from off-field training processes to on-field performance. This centres on the alignment between explicit and implicit methods to develop decision-making skill and criteria for its assessment and evaluation in successful performance whilst also reflecting on the way other occupational domains treat decision-making training by providing examples of practice and testing.The book cuts across sports, competitive levels and evolution of approaches within the sport industry, implementing knowledge translation principles to ensure the book is useful for improving performance amongst sports officials at any level. As such, the book has distinct sections to separate and address aspects of sport-specific characteristics of sport official decision process, what we should aim to train and monitor as criteria for decision-making performance improvement.Delivering cutting edge research and amalgamates the research into defined areas into concepts that can be applied to officiating or applied work with officiating populations that are sport-specific, Sports Official Decision-Making will be key reading for sport science academics and students around the world as well as sports officials, officiating educators and sport managers.
