“…The results of our study confirmed that athletes at the international level who took part in competitions and that the level of anxiety during the competition was low, in contrast, the level of anxiety was high for kurash athletes in the national category. These results obtained in the course of this study are fully confirmed by the results of the research work of many other scientists [14]. In other words, a high level of skill is characterized not only by technical and tactical or physical training but also by mental stability, which was demonstrated during the competition.…”

The anxiety of an athlete in the process of participating in competitions and in the process of competitions is the main obstacle to achieving sports results. This study aimed to compare the state of anxiety before and during the competition of different levels and gender categories of kurash athletes. A total of 450 kurash athletes (international level -225, national level -225, males -238, females -212) voluntarily participated in this study. The verification of participants was carried out at 4 competitions in the territory of Uzbekistan. The instrument used for the research was the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 which consisted of 27 items and was tested twice: to examine the level of anxiety before and during the competition. To test the research hypotheses, t-tests were used, and P values were set at p<0.05. The obtained results showed that the participants in the competition received average scores of 45.5783 for male kurash athletes and 46.6532 for female kurash athletes (t-test-6.506, p<0.05). In addition, the international level kurash athletes in the competition had an anxiety score before competition of 39.3590, while the national level kurash athletes had an anxiety score of 44.0218 (F=14.110, p<0.05). The study also revealed that the level of anxiety of international kurash athletes (38.6400) during the competition was lower than that of national kurash athletes (43.8439) (F=7.899, p<0.05). The results of the study indicate the need to optimize the psychological training that kurash athletes of the national category received before competitions, and to organize the training of females based of an individualized approach, in particular, with the implementation of psychological training.

“…Jones et al (2007), however, noted the importance of the perspectives of key stakeholders outside of athletes (e.g., sport psychologists, coaches) in contributing toward a clearer understanding of psychological constructs within sport. In redefining choking, Hill et al (2010) adopted a similar view, drawing on the perceptions of sport psychologists and coaches to refine the definition of choking in sport, which is now a widely used definition (e.g., Frame & Reichin, 2019; Hill et al, 2017). As such, exploring the perceptions of other key stakeholders, such as coaches, may help to bring consistency to the construct definition, and facilitate the development of “good theory” (Klein & Zedeck, 2004, p. 932), wherein constructs are clearly defined with thoughtful descriptions of how and why they are linked to other constructs.…”

The concept of clutch performance (improved or successful performance under pressure) has gained traction in both research and the media in recent years, with notable, high-profile sporting moments occurring more frequently. As athletes inherently experience pressure when competing in sporting events, researchers and sport practitioners aim to work with athletes to help facilitate performance under these pressure circumstances. While research in the field has aimed to explore how clutch performances occur in sport, there remains some conceptual confusion regarding the definition of clutch performance itself. In light of this, 12 semielite/elite sporting coaches took part in a career-based, semistructured interview, to offer insight into when, and how, clutch performances occur. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim, and data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006, 2019). Two themes were generated: (a) the performance level required for clutch performance is context-dependent and (b) clutch performances may occur at multiple temporal levels. These themes suggest that the performance requirements to achieve a clutch performance vary depending on the context of the event, and further, clutch performances were considered to occur as either specific clutch moments throughout an event or as an extended performance over the course of an entire event. These findings provide support for a refined definition of clutch performance, wherein the context of the situation and duration of the performance are considered. Implications are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research.
