Résumé

Sport officials’ decisions and decision making remain a core performance indicator and focus for empirical study. Communication and player management are clearly central to sport officiating performance, reinforced by evidence highlighting the influences of officials’ interactivity on players’ performance (Bar-Eli et al., 1995), perceptions of fairness (Simmons, 2011) and motives to transgress (Faccenda et al., 2005). With a lack of consensus about training strategies and assessment criteria for officials’ interaction skills (Cunningham et al., 2014; Mellick et al., 2005), an improved conceptual foundation can inform individualized practice orientations to aid officiating performance. This presentation provides a review of critical perspectives used to interpret officials’ interactions with players as relational, performative, strategic, and coordinated activity. We highlight the lack of understanding about contextual/situated characteristics and co-construction patterns and processes underlying player-official interactions (Cunningham et al., 2018). To begin to fill this knowledge gap, we present different case analysis in order to understand the concurrent activity between player captains and officials during high-performance European rugby union matches. A cross-disciplinary theoretical posture is emphasized and methodological approach that places players’ and officials’ lived experience during actual interactions at the focus of analysis (e.g. Rix-Lièvre et al., 2015). Recommendations are made for training design that helps to elicit sport officials’ implicit knowledge during match interactions through a platform of deliberate self-confrontation and communication practice analysis. Further integration and conceptualisation of interaction skill development in officiating pathways to enhance interaction performance are discussed.
