Abstract
The guest editors and four commentators raised many interesting and important issues about the ecological approach to perception and action in sports. They offered some excellent suggestions for further developing and applying the ecological approach, but also raised some concerns and pointed out some of the challenges. Our goals in this reply are to respond to these concerns and challenges, and clarify the position that we expressed in our original article. We reply to the remarks of each commentator in turn, but point out similarities in their remarks wherever they exist.
