Ítem Birthplace and birthdate effect during talent process in professional soccer academy players(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-06) Hernández Simal, Lander; Calleja González, Julio; Lorenzo Calvo, Alberto; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteThe main objective of this study was to detect, from among a set of innate, acquired, and contextual factors, those variables that are ascribed to players ultimately promoted to the professional team of a Spanish league club during the earlier selection and development phases. The data were presented in frequencies and correlations and by means of a classificatory cluster model. The variables used for the analyses included date of birth, birthplace density, player position, laterality, academy entry stage, international participation, and debutant status. These variables were related to the talent selection and promotion phases (i.e., academy entry stage and player debut). A dataset of information on 1411 players from the last 30 seasons of the Athletic Club de Bilbao (1993–2021) was used. Regarding the results, first, there was an over-representation of players with respect to their Q1 birth date and K5 density quintile in the selection phase; however, once players joined the academy, their chances of promotion (debut) fell for players in the Q4 birth date and K3 density quintiles. Second, there was a significant correlation between players’ debut and the stage of incorporation (p < 0.01; V = 0.46) and internationalisation (p < 0.01; V = 0.5). Finally, the birthplace density and laterality variables converged as classificatory features of the players.Ítem Birthplace effect in soccer: a systematic review(Termedia Publishing House Ltd., 2024) Hernández Simal, Lander; Calleja González, Julio; Lorenzo Calvo, Alberto; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteBirthplace is a contextual variable that influences the talent development process of soccer players. The main objective of this systematic review was to compile the scientific literature on the effect of birthplace in soccer. This is the first systematic review to investigate how this contextual factor relates to talent development in soccer. Using the PRISMA methodology, the analysis of the 14 articles that were part of the final review concluded with three main discursive themes: the place of birth and population size, composition of the birthplace and socio-demographic characteristics of the population, and the place of birth and the location of high performance sport centres. This review shows that there are several underlying elements for understanding the effect of the place of birth on the development of talent in soccer. The combination of population density and the level of facilities in the place where the player was born are key in the development of a soccer player. It is not only about the place as a space, but also about what that space means for the development of the player's soccer skills. The findings not only highlight the characteristics of the areas, in terms of density and equipment supply, identified as talent hotspots, but also provide an opportunity to critically reflect on current practices of talent identification and development in soccer.Ítem Canicross pilot programme: basic considerations for its implementation as an extracurricular sports activity(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-05) González Santamaría, Xabier; Borrajo, Erika; Sánchez Mencia, Eneko; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteCanicross is a sport that consists of running while being pulled by a dog in a natural environment. Due to the benefits to health and well-being that it brings to the people and dogs that practise it, this sport could be implemented as an animal-assisted intervention (AAI) in the educational field. Against this background, the present work describes a pilot experience carried out in an educational centre in the Basque Country for the implementation of canicross as an extracurricular sports activity. The main objective is to describe the educational potential of canicross as an extracurricular activity that fosters students’ values of respect for animals and physical activity (PA) in natural environments. The results of this innovative experience provide the first evidence of the valuable role of animal activities in this educational context, where current academic research is practically non-existent. In conclusion, we highlight the novelty of the proposal and the motivating effect that the dogs in this case had among the students in encouraging them to practise PA and adhere to values of respect and animal welfare.Ítem Deporte, ocio y smart city: un trinomio en desarrollo(Los Libros de la Catarata, 2024) Rubio Florido, Isabel; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, Maite; Lázaro Fernández, Yolanda; Leunda Goñi, Itsaso; Roa Mora, DanelÍtem Exploring Athletic Club de Bilbao's communication: philosophy, identity, and fan´s community(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2024) Aurrekoetxea Casaus, Maite; Sánchez Mencia, Eneko; Hernández Simal, LanderProfessional football teams operate today in a globalized context where communication strategies are crucial for strengthening bonds with their fanbases. The aim of this research was to explore the communication tactics of a football team by analyzing 15 documentary videos from the official YouTube channel of Athletic Club de Bilbao, a football team with a recruitment policy that is unique in the world of football and often labelled as anachronistic. Through a qualitative methodology, thematic analysis, and using Atlas.ti software, the results revealed that the football club's communication tactics involve presenting a contemporary narrative in their documentary videos that embraces the linguistic and cultural diversity of Basque society, blending localism with cosmopolitanism. These findings suggest that the fans of Athletic Club experience a sense of distinction and exclusivity compared to other teams and supporters worldwide, transcending the geographical boundaries of their city.Ítem March 8, 2019: a snapshot of new participants in the feminist mobilisation(Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona = Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Servicio de Publicaciones = Servei de Publicacions, Departament de Sociologia, 2025) Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteThis article explores a “new feminist subject” in the context of the mobilisation for Women’s Day (8 March 2019) in the city of Bilbao. Through a convergent quantitative–qualitative design methodology, issues relating to feminist identity and elements connected to neoliberalism that make up the feminist movement were addressed. The objective was to detect the new elements or nuances of neoliberal ideology that converge in the identity of the women who participated in the social protests and organisations linked to feminism. Among the participants in the M8 protests, the existence of new neoliberal indicators in women who call themselves feminists is verified. This article’s contribution is thus essential to understand the current establishment and explosion of feminist activism and the ideological overtones of new participants in feminist activism. Future research will shed light on the persistence or consolidation of this neoliberal drift in the feminist movement.Ítem Place matters: a study on the influence of birthplace and the place of development on soccer academy players’ careers(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-04) Hernández Simal, Lander; Calleja González, Julio; Larruskain, Jon; Lorenzo Calvo, Alberto; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteThe effect of birthplace (the place where a player is born and grows up) is one of the key variables associated with soccer player development and achievement. However, recent studies have questioned the influence of contextual variables on selection and promotion processes related to birthplace. The main purposes of this study were: (1) establish whether there is a difference between the birthplace and sporting growth according to the stages of entry into the academy, (2) to evaluate the influence of geographical and contextual variables on sporting development, and (3) assess the chances of making a professional team debut. Applied logistic regression was used in order to analyse the birthplace and growth of 1411 male soccer players, of which 40.1% are incorporated in the U-12 category from a Spanish First division club, and the results showed a statistically significant association between a change from one’s birthplace to the place of sporting growth and later success (79%). Key contextual variables such as number of inhabitants, population density, proximity to sports facilities, average household income and presence of sports clubs have been considered. The analysis of the contextual variables revealed that there was a positive relationship between certain variables, like a higher population, and being selected for the academy (p < 0.01; r = 0.28). Finally, the findings showed that players who experienced a geographical transition were 38% more likely to make a professional debut. The importance of considering the place of sporting growth when analysing the “birthplace effect” has therefore been demonstratedÍtem Visados para soñar: expectativas y emociones de adolescentes y jóvenes que migran solos/as(Universidad de Comillas, Instituto Universitario de Estudios sobre Migraciones, 2023-04-26) Segú Odriozola, Mabel; Gómez Quintero, Juan David; Casado Patricio, Elena; Aurrekoetxea Casaus, MaiteLa mayor parte de las investigaciones sobre los/as adolescentes y jóvenes que migran solos/as se focalizan en las causas y condiciones de su viaje migratorio y su asentamiento en las sociedades de destino. Sin embargo, hay pocos trabajos que aborden sus expectativas de futuro y, especialmente, las emociones que suscitan sus proyectos venideros. El objetivo de la investigación es identificar sus expectativas y analizar las emociones que estas provocan. La metodología consiste en el análisis cualitativo de 118 entrevistas realizadas en siete CC. AA. del Estado español a partir de categorías de análisis tales como expectativas de la migración, proyectos de futuro y emociones experimentadas. Los resultados señalan la existencia de tres conjuntos de expectativas: materiales-funcionales, simbólicas-ideales y afectivas-territoriales. Así mismo, el estudio señala que, a pesar de la emergencia de un amplio espectro de emociones, las más recurrentes son el sufrimiento, la incertidumbre y el sentimiento de orgullo por lo que han sido capaces. Este estudio contribuye a ampliar la mirada de las migraciones juveniles desde una perspectiva cualitativa que permite comprender el complejo entramado de sueños, proyectos, miedos y sufrimientos experimentados por adolescentes y jóvenes que han migrado solos/as a España
