Abstract


This study aimed to examine the effect of video-supported mental training on the technical development of male football players in the 12-14 age group. 24 male athletes aged 12-14 participated in the study voluntarily. Volunteers were divided into a physical training group (FG, n:12) and a physical training and mental training group (FZG, n:12). Volunteers are given 4 weeks and 3 days a week; FG, physical football training only; FZG, on the other hand, participated in mental training programs before each physical training. Mor-Christian Test Station was used for shooting, passing and dribbling ability test measurements and measurements were taken twice, on the first day (T1) and the last day (T2) of the 4-week training period. The data obtained was analyzed using the SPSS 22.00 statistical program. In the study, significance was obtained at the p<0.05 level between FG, T1 and T2 measurements and at the p<0.05 level between FZG, T1 and T2 measurements. As a result of the statistics performed between the groups, a significance level of p<0.05 was obtained between the results of the FZG group and FG. As a result, it is thought that video-supported mental training will make significant contributions to the development of basic technical skills of young football players. It is thought that applying mental training together with physical training may be effective in achieving the highest efficiency in athletes. Therefore, considering the benefits of mental training and its effects on performance, it can be recommended that mental training be applied together with physical training in training planning.
