Volume 26, 2011 ISBN 978-0-89641-502-7 WHAT IS ARCAA? The Applied Research in Coaching and Athletics Annual (ARCAA) is an interdisciplinary annual, and includes ten major content areas: Innovations in coaching athletics Innovations in teaching athletics Youth sports considerations Applied psychology of coaching and athletics Applied sociology of coaching and athletics Athletic and sport management Law and legal issues in coaching and athletics Athletic counseling Coaches forum Book and video reviews Historical perspectives and reviews The goal of ARCAA is to continue to fill the void between research in the field of athletics through dissemination of information to those who can best utilize it in a practical setting, including coaches, athletic administrators and interested educators. The journal style will emphasize the use of lay terminology that can be understood by both professionals and those who are associated with the field through personal interest, thereby requiring the simplification of the interpretation and discussion sections of research reports to facilitate understanding by a broad readership. This philosophy will facilitate the goal of ARCAA which is to communicate and stimulate thought by applying research to current trends in coaching and athletics. To accomplish this purpose, clarifications of applied research projects, theories and concepts will be disseminated to coaches and the general readership.

Copies of this style manual may be obtained through the order Department, American Psychological Association, 1200 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Most libraries will also have copies of this style manual. No submission will be reviewed that does not adhere to the APA writing style. One slight modification of the APA format merits elaboration. Wherever possible, particularly in the results and discussion sections, the use of highly technical jargon is discouraged. It is our intent to take the technical and the complex and make them highly readable for practitioners who may be less familiar with theoretical and research intricacies. "Layman" language is acceptable in trying to communicate data and ideas. Also, when discussing specific statistical tests used in the research please explain why the test was used and what the test is used to measure. This information is very helpful in clarifying research intricacies to those who lack a statistical background. Finally, all papers should end with a "layman" discussion on implications of the research for the coaching/athletic profession. Special attention should be given to the preparation of references. The manuscript must be typed double-spaced, including abstracts and references. Tables, drawings, and graphs must be clearly labeled and included on separate pages. All manuscripts must be preceded by an abstract of 75-150 words. MANUSC RIPTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 30 PAGES IN LENGTH, INCLUDING ALL TABLES AND FIGURES. Warren K. Simpson, Editor Applied Research in Coaching and Athletics Annual Department of Kinesiology Angelo State University ASU Station, Box 10903 San Angelo, TX 76909 warren.simpson@angelo.edu Manuscripts should not be submitted for publication elsewhere at the same time. Authors are advised to proof the typing of the final copy, check references for accuracy, and retain a copy of the manuscript in case of loss in the mail. Manuscripts are evaluated by members of the editorial review board through a blind review process. With each copy of the manuscript, authors are requested to submit a cover sheet including the title of the manuscript, name of the author(s), institutional affiliation(s), running head, and date of manuscript submission. Papers will be judged on topical relevance and clarity of reporting.

Upon acceptance authors will be required to submit the final manuscript in both printed and on disk, CD or Zip. This will help speed up our production time. It is preferred that disks are submitted in Microsoft Word. Be sure that only the final version of the article is on the disk. Back to the top
