Psychological analysis of victories and defeats in the competition
Intensive development of mass physical culture resulted in a significant enhancement of the role of self-control.
Because the psychological preparedness of athletes is constantly changing, it is subject to the quantitative and qualitative evaluation in terms of staging, current and operational control. In General, psychological preparedness includes such major areas as:
-formation of motivation of sports;
-nurturing qualities;
-improve responsiveness;
–improvement of specialized skills;
–adjustment of the psychological tension;
–development of tolerance to emotional stress;
-management of starting conditions.
Of fundamental importance in this case are the ways to define training athletes. In the monitoring of mental preparedness assessed as follows:
–personal, moral and volitional qualities that achieve high sports results in competitions in various sports (capacity for leadership, motivation to achieve victory, the ability to concentrate all forces at the right moment, the ability to move heavy loads, emotional stability, ability to self-control, etc.);
-stability at competitions with rivals high qualifications, ability to show the best results in major competitions;
–the size and focus attention on specific sports and different competitive situations;
-ability to control the level of excitement just before and during the competitions (counselor);
–the degree of excellence, different perceptions parameters of the movements, the ability to control muscle coordination, emotional perception and processing of information;
Productive, as was the search for common manifestations of personality approach that lead to success in the sport. These features include: emotional stability, active in overcoming the obstacles. In General, the personality, as well as typological, should take into account the differentiated management of sports activities. According to the sports psychologists, to the most common personal features athletes include: a high level of aggression (which is almost always under the control of the athlete a high class), the high level of motivation, extraversion and firmness, authoritarianism, emotional stability and self-control.
Research shows that high class athletes in these sports are not only more aggressive, but also tend to more freely express their aggressive tendencies, as representatives of the so-called normal sample. Formation of the athlete is impossible without purposeful formation of sporting activity. Motive created a framework of targeted behavior, ways of overcoming the frustration when you reach the main objective of sports activities. This is a dynamic component – motivation of behavior – in focus behavior (motivation to implement specific training load) and subjective criteria meet the goal (the activity of conduct) in specific circumstances, at any given time.
The first explores the reasons why athletes prefer one activity to another, the effects of different motives, values and needs. In the second direction seeks to explain why athletes working with varying degrees of intensity. It is associated with the research institution and activation which affect the intensity of the motor tasks. Motivation in sports activities can be classified according to the source of outbreak: external and internal reasons. For example, some motifs are external to the individual or to sources. These include various forms of explicit and implicit social rewards (praise praise), as well as more tangible signs of success – cash remuneration, gifts. Other sources of motivation can be especially psyche of the individual, a personal need for success, recognition, communication, etc., and also features the motor task. The latter motif includes such qualities as originality, technical or physical complexity of the exercise.
Characteristic of motivational structure separate the athlete is not only the complexity of the existing system of values, but also the opportunity to influence his past experience at building relationships for success, sports, labor authorities. As the child becomes an adult, the impact of the various motives also varies. Athletes, motivated to succeed typically have in some positive purpose, which can be clearly seen as a success. They clearly have the desire, at any cost, only be successful in its activities, looking for such activities, it includes choose means and prefer actions aimed at achieving the objective. In their cognitive sphere there is usually a strong expectation of success. Such athletes looked forward to receiving approval for action designed to achieve the goal, and the associated work their positive emotions.
It is generally accepted that the level of athlete in competitions on the degree of stress is geometric in nature. In other words, when a weak and average stress achieving athletes are relatively high, and high level stress, they may be worse than the results obtained in the exercise. Experts agree that every athlete has its individual stress threshold, i.e. only a certain percentage of a certain level of stress, it is the best, and allows the athlete to show the best results. Stress levels above or below the optimal does not contribute to the achievement of high results.
