“…The program design was based on a combination of techniques frequently used in psychological intervention with athletes, such as mindfulness, relaxation, self-dialogue, feedback, and goal setting (Palicio-Mayoral et al, 2022), and we used the integrated psychological training methodology proposed by Morilla et al (2017). Through this method, psychological preparation is trained through tasks that try to reproduce real situations experienced during competition (Tassi et al, 2018).…”

“…The timing chosen for the intervention programs was aimed at improving psychological skills in sport. The duration of training in various skills was very diverse, with some interventions taking place over a period of one month and others over a full season (Palicio-Mayoral et al, 2022). To create a practical and effective intervention program, we decided to conduct 19 sessions over a period of three months.…”

“…The existing literature has repeatedly shown that psychological factors can differentiate successful from unsuccessful athletes, making this variable of keen interest to sports professionals (Dean et al, 2022; Lange-Smith et al, 2023). Among other psychological variables, the athlete’s motivation, attention, arousal level, self-confidence, anxiety, stress, emotional state, self-control, and/or group cohesion have all been previously analyzed and included in athlete psychological preparation programs (e.g., Palicio-Mayoral et al, 2022; Na; Xu et al, 2023). In addition, given the importance of psychological interventions in improving these skills, there has been an increased interest in employing sports psychologists to oversee structured intervention programs to assist teams in developing needed psychological skills (Dean et al, 2022).…”

Our aim in the present study was to test the efficacy of a 13-week, 19-session psychological intervention program on young soccer players’ competitive anxiety and their sport psychological profiles. Participants were 37 players in the under-15 age category, of which 18 players formed the experimental group ( M age = 14.67 years, SD = .48) and 19 players formed the control group ( Mage = 14.23 years, SD = .42); this was a quasi-experimental design without random assignment to groups. We had all participants complete the Psychological Inventory of Sport Performance (IPED), the Questionnaire of Psychological Characteristics of Sport Performance (CPRD), and the Competition State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) before and after the intervention. Results indicated positive effects for the intervention group (but not the control group) on stress control and motivation dimensions of the CPRD, cognitive anxiety and self-confidence on the CSAI-2, and self-confidence and attentional control on the IPED. These results suggest that psychological training for athletes contributes to their improved psychological skills, providing them tools to better adapt to the competitive environment.

“…These skills empower athletes to adapt more effectively to competitive environments, even in high-stress and anxiety-inducing situations [ 2 , 3 ]. Notably, several extensively studied variables include group cohesion, self-control, anxiety, stress, emotional state, motivation, activation level, attention and self-confidence [ 4 , 5 ].…”

The objective of this study was to analyse the correlations among the sports psychological profile, competitive anxiety, self-confidence and the flow state of young football players. Additionally, potential distinctions based on age category, competitive level and field position were explored. This study included 328 participants divided into two groups: Group 1, 14–15 year olds, and Group 2, 16–18 year olds (M = 15.85; SD = 1.44). Data were collected by using the Psychological Inventory of Sports Execution (IPED), the Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2R) and the Flow State Scale (FSS). The findings revealed positive associations between the sports psychological profile and self-confidence, as well as with the flow state. Conversely, competitive anxiety demonstrated negative relationships with the sports psychological profile, self-confidence and the state of flow. Moreover, superior scores were observed in the analysed variables for the older age category and higher competitive level, with no notable disparities based on field positions. These results underscore the interplay of psychological factors in the performance of football players and underline distinctions among players according to their category (age and level). This emphasises the importance of scrutinising these variables in athletes to comprehend their profiles and enable targeted interventions aimed at enhancing their psychological resources for competitive scenarios.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy has been implemented in the training plans of many athletes and sports teams, obtaining very good results for the improvement of mental skills. These effects are achieved through improvements in cognitive skills such as motivation, mental concentration, and self-confidence, all within an appropriate context of specific physical, technical, and tactical training. However, there are few studies that consider the analysis of performance from a psychological point of view from a gender perspective. The objective of this study was to evaluate a mental training intervention (cognitive-behavioral therapy) in youth rowers in preparation for their participation in the Junior European Championship. A quasi-experimental study was carried out with the complete team of the Spanish youth rowing team (n = 16). The setting where the intervention took place was during the team’s stay prior to the European Rowing Junior Championships. Psychological variables were assessed using the Psychological Characteristics Related to Sport Performance Questionnaire. The final assessment was carried out the week before the championship (after finishing the 10th week of intervention). After the intervention, improvements were identified in the Stress Control and Influence of Performance Evaluation subscales in the total sample. However, in the analysis separated by sex, only women improved on the Influence of Performance Evaluation subscale. Lastly, the linear regression analysis adjusted for the sex variable was only significant with the age variable (with a negative effect). This intervention was found to be effective in improving only some of the psychological components related to athletic performance (Stress Control and Influence of Performance Evaluation). These improvements were not related to better results in the European Rowing Junior Championship. These results should be taken into account because they provide evidence for the efficacy of psychological interventions in the field of grassroots sport.
