ABSTRACT

A team's in-game self-organization and proactiveness are dependent on factors emanating from two sources: the team's initial (threshold) physical and mental potential and its ability to realize this potential in a live contest. This chapter begins with self-organization is a key quality of a team as a human complex system in contest. The highly ranked self-organization parameters of collective performance are usually part of traditional performance analysis. One of practical advantages of the suggested level - complexity - risk (LCR) concept of complex sport analytics. Studies of coaches and staffs usually relate to individual or collective styles of work and their influence on athletes' performance. Athletes' perception of coaches' cohesion was significantly correlated with three subscales: 'individual attraction to group-task, 'group integration-task, and 'social group integration'. Athletes' anthropometric and other physical and mental 'specializations' are important subjects of sport analytics for preparing explanative models of a team at the L-factor analysis stage.
