1/ The phenomenon of fathers and sons at the highest level in football is fascinating. 👨‍👦⚽️

In a new study, we interviewed 3 Norwegian national team dyads (Sørloth, Thorstvedt, Berg) to explore how former professional players may influence their children.

5/ Across the findings, fathers expressed a relaxed approach to elite sport. As Ørjan Berg put it: “This is their life. And how they want to live it, they ultimately must figure out for themselves. We’re here to support and help them”

England's controversial penalty in the semi-finals raises questions. Was it mere chance that the decision favored England? Research indicates high-status teams are more likely to get favorable calls, possibly due to unconscious referee bias🤔⚽ Read more: https://t.co/f6AC1aEWKW

Thank you for the invitation to Dublin and Croke Park earlier this month. Great to meet and discuss our resarch with the GAA community!

Player retention is a huge issue for most #GAA clubs. How do we keep as many of our players as possible playing for as long as possible? Some solid advice can be found in the story behind the making of one of the world's greatest footballers, Erling Haaland. #GAABelong

Enjoyed our conversation, @DanAbrahams77! From our case study of Bryne 99 - an age-restricted grassroot team that developed professional athletes (including Erling Haaland) while promoting participation and personal development: https://t.co/vzgLj2P2mI

New episode of The Sport Psych Show! This week I speak with Dr Martin Erikstad @MErikstad. In this episode we discuss a paper that Martin led which examines the approach of Bryne FC, the Norwegian football club that Erling Haaland played for up until 2017 https://t.co/hlTaHi5HOx

You won't read a more inspiring journal article on coaching team sports and developing great athletes. (It helps to know Erling Haaland is on the team profiled). March 2021 article. 35 of 40 kids stayed in the team from age 6 to 16. Community and a warm inclusive coach were keys.

Research from @AgderUniversity and @queensu . Thanks to the co-authors, including @TommyHaugen6 and @jeancote46
