ABSTRACT:
Forty-five high school football players were rated by their coaches on a number of parameters which could possibly predict the athletes' game performance. Objective and subjective ratings of the actual performance of the athletes were then obtained through game films and coaches' pre-film viewing ratings. The position the athlete played was the best predictor of objective and subjective game performance. Backs consistently obtained higher performance ratings than linebackers. This effect is discussed as to whether backs are superior athletes or whether linebackers are the subject of coach bias. Identifies the behavioural predictors of football game performance of high school athletes. Uses data from 45 players and reports that a large percentage of both the objective and subjective football game performance score of high school athletes can be accounted for by utilizing objectively defined predictor variables. Concludes that athletic potential can be measured and that the critical variable for winning in high school football is the performance of the team's backs.
