The Perception and Application of Psychological Training by Coaches of Youth Basketball Players
Abstract
The psychological preparation holds paramount significance in advancing and elevating a player's performance. Therefore, the research aims to know the current state of psychological preparation in the youth basketball training systems, to analyze the factors that affect the integration of psychological preparation, and to study the impact that this generates on the sports performance of players in clubs in Constantine, Algeria. This study was adopted the descriptive-analytical approach; a questionnaire comprising three dimensions was administered to a sample of 30 coaches affiliated with the Constantine Regional Basketball Association. Findings revealed that psychological preparation holds significance in coaches' training methodologies, with most coaches demonstrating adequate knowledge and academic training in this domain. Nevertheless, the research also discerned shortcomings in the infrastructure of clubs and a dearth of attention given to psychological dimensions by sports administrators, encompassing club presidents and directors. Such inadequacies potentially correlate with reduced player performance.
