Decision making in sports

Abstract:
There has been tremendous growth in the study of decision making in sport psychology, which has involved several theoretical approaches and paradigms from the progression of decision research more broadly. This review article summarizes the latter to establish context for a review of the former: decision making in sports domains. Utility-based, heuristic, computational, naturalistic, and ecological approaches are included and the benefits of using sports as a real-world testbed for these approaches is illustrated through examples among players, coaches, referees, and fans. In conclusion, I offer some exciting recent developments as opportunities for other lines of future inquiry.
