The relative age effect appears to be most pronounced between the ages of 15 and 18 at representative level (Cobley et al., 2009). In soccer, researchers have found match play to produce greater player total distance covered per minute, total number of duels and lost ball possessions (Dellal et al., 2012). For example, in a professional football team I recently worked with, the coaching staff determined that five personality factors were the most important in their talent identification andrecruitment philosophy.

In cricket, less skilled players spent more time fixating on distal cues, such as the ball hand area, whilst skilled players fixated on more proximal predictive cues such as the bowling arm, trunk-hips and predicted ball-release area (McRobert et al., 2011). These performance contexts can then be used to assess a player's ability to recognize affordances for action and execute their skill (Davids et al., 2012). Coaches; however, should be mindful of how the constraints manipulated in these games compare to match play.
