You’ll never walk alone: Cooperation as an explanatory paradigm of the dynamics of sports teams

Pedro Almeida, João Lameiras

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a brief review of the construct of cooperation in sport, taking into account the manifest lack of literature in this field. Similarly, the objective is to present available tools for evaluating cooperation in sport, together with research conducted to date. Finally, we present some studies that are currently in progress and future challenges for this line of research. The importance of ongoing research in this field is highlighted, since cooperation can be considered to be a valid alternative paradigm for gaining an understanding of the dynamics of sports teams, with a need for further empirical and experimental evidence.
