As it is appreciated that learning is a non-linear process – implying that coaching methodologies in sport should be accommodative – it is reasonable to suggest that player development pathways should also account for this non-linearity. A constraints-led approach (CLA), predicated on the theory of ecological dynamics, has been suggested as a viable framework for capturing the non-linearity of learning, development and performance in sport. The CLA articulates how skills emerge through the interaction of different constraints (task-environment-performer). However, despite its well-established theoretical roots, there are challenges to implementing it in practice. Accordingly, to help practitioners navigate such challenges, this paper proposes a user-friendly framework that demonstrates the benefits of a CLA. Specifically, to conceptualize the non-linear and individualized nature of learning, and how it can inform player development, we apply Adolph’s notion of learning IN development to explain the fundamental ideas of a CLA. We then exemplify a learning IN development framework, based on a CLA, brought to life in a high-level youth football organization. We contend that this framework can provide a novel approach for presenting the key ideas of a CLA and its powerful pedagogic concepts to practitioners at all levels, informing coach education programs, player development frameworks and learning environment designs in sport.

众所周知，学习是一个非线性过程，这意味着体育教练方法应具有适应性，因此建议运动员发展是合理的途径也应解释这种非线性。有人提出了一种以生态动力学理论为基础的约束主导方法（CLA），作为捕捉运动学习，发展和绩效非线性的可行框架。CLA阐明了如何通过不同约束（任务-环境-执行者）之间的相互作用来培养技能。但是，尽管其理论根深蒂固，但在实践中实施它仍存在挑战。因此，为了帮助从业人员应对这些挑战，本文提出了一个用户友好的框架，该框架展示了CLA的好处。具体来说，为了概念化学习的非线性和个性化性质，以及它如何为玩家发展提供信息，我们采用了Adolph的学习IN发展概念解释CLA的基本思想。然后，我们以基于CLA的学习型IN开发框架为例，该框架在高级青少年足球组织中得以实现。我们认为，该框架可以为向各个级别的从业者介绍CLA的关键思想及其强大的教学理念提供新颖的方法，为教练教育计划，运动员发展框架和体育学习环境设计提供信息。
