© 2023, The Author(s).Following online publication, some numerical errors were identified in paragraph 3 of the section entitled, “3.2 Characteristics of Psychological Research Examining Taper”. This paragraph, which previously read: Most (92%) articles used an athlete sample (n = 44), with only three articles examining coaches and one article examining both athletes and coaches. In total, the articles included 1531 athletes, of which 1062 (69%) were male and 496 were female (31%). Three studies [17, 35, 36], equating to 30 participants, did not report or make explicit the gender of the participants. A total of 34 coaches were included in studies (28 were male and six were female). In one article using both an athlete and coach sample, 15 were female and eight were male [37]. The gender of the individual athlete and coach groups was not reported. Has now been updated to read: Most (92%) articles used an athlete sample (n = 44), with only three articles examining coaches and one article examining both athletes and coaches. In total, the articles included 1588 participants. Of these participants, 1548 were athletes (97%) and 40 were coaches (3%). Of the athletes, 1026 were male (66%) and 475 were female (31%). Of the coaches, 28 were male (70%) and 6 were female (15%). Across four studies [17, 35, 36, 37], the gender of 47 athletes and six coaches was not reported or made explicit (representing 3% and 15% of the respective total percentages). These errors also affected the numbers reported in Table 2. Table 2 has therefore also been updated. The original article has been corrected.
