: Adopting an ecological perspective, the study explored the context-strengths of three successful school-based TDEs in rugby league. : Utilizing a mixed methods approach, incorporating validated psychometric questionnaires ( = 118) and semi-structured interviews, various stakeholder perspectives ( = 30; i.e., current/past students and coaches) were triangulated and corroborated to identify TDE ecological strengths. : Compared to benchmark TDE data, and supplemented by descriptions of TDE features and processes, results confirmed strong coherence to "effective" factors in TDE literature. Collective "ecological strengths" included quantitative findings of a highly supportive culture, shared "person" and "athlete" desired outcomes, and a long-term focus; and qualitative features of high behavioral expectations, strong values of hard work, and the promotion of personal ownership in athlete development. Opportunities to enhance TDE effectiveness were also identified, with psychological skill development (e.g., self-reflection, coping) and balancing intra-rugby league pathway demands (i.e., competition/training loads) highlighted. : Findings identify characteristics, components, and processes of school-TDE environments associated with successful athlete development in schools and beyond (i.e., transition into an athlete development pathway).
从生态视角出发，本研究探讨了三个成功的基于学校的榄球联赛 TDE 的背景优势。采用混合方法，结合经过验证的心理计量问卷（=118）和半结构化访谈，对各种利益相关者的观点（=30；即当前/过去的学生和教练）进行三角剖分和证实，以确定 TDE 的生态优势。与基准 TDE 数据相比，并辅以 TDE 特征和过程的描述，结果证实了与 TDE 文献中“有效”因素的高度一致性。集体“生态优势”包括高度支持性文化的定量发现、共同的“个人”和“运动员”期望结果，以及长期关注；以及高强度行为期望、努力工作的强烈价值观和促进运动员发展中的个人所有权等定性特征。还确定了增强 TDE 有效性的机会，强调了心理技能发展（例如，自我反思、应对）和平衡榄球联赛内部途径需求（即竞争/训练负荷）。研究结果确定了与学校和超越（即过渡到运动员发展途径）成功运动员发展相关的学校-TDE 环境的特征、组成部分和过程。
