Sport Psych
“The lack of feedback from practice explains why the
sub sample of FIFA referees took 16 years of practice and experience on average to reach the elite
level of the sport. When compared with the ‘‘10-year rule’’ within the expertise and deliberate practice literature, this is a longer ‘‘training’’ period than reported previously.”
McMahon, Helsen, Starkes and Weston (2006)
