It's the holiday gift that you've all been waiting for: another episode of 'Paper by Paper: A Sports Research Playbook'!

In this episode, we discuss the difference (and relationship) between rules and principles with guidance from McKay and colleagues' (2021) paper "An ecological insight into the design and integration of attacking principles of play in professional rugby union: a case example".

We talk dictionary definitions, distinctions, and unpack some practice design examples in other sports.

Thanks for listening to Paper by Paper! May you all have a restful and gentle holiday, and we'll see you in the new year.
