Abstract
There is a bright spot for youth researchers looming among practitioners. This study sought to discover if youth sport directors utilized player development research in youth soccer organizations. If so, what might be the successes and challenges directors may face incorporating youth sport player development models and policies? The findings of this qualitative study revealed three major themes: 1) successes in implementing research-based methods, 2) certain policies that were not being implemented, and 3) factors influencing practitioners’ ability to implement research-based policies. The data depicted participants were progressive and proactive in finding new methods for combating barriers to the implementation of practices and were concerned with holistic player development.
