PSYCHOLOGY IN SPORTS INITIATION

With the proper management of motivation, emotions and values that arise from sport, an environment is generated in which the learning, performance and integral development of the young athlete are enhanced.

Psychology focused on the period of sports initiation is aimed at the protagonists of base sport
or formative sport
Sport is not just a hobby. By itself, it helps the physical and cognitive development of any infant who practices it.

But it is also a context in which learning, emotions and values take on importance, emerging as a perfect field to carry out comprehensive teaching. In other words, it is an ideal context to work on the development of the child as an athlete, but also as a person.

The role of the psychologist in sports initiation is to help the coach make sport the maximum educational medium.

How do we get sports to become an educational environment?

  • Sport itself is a context in which positive values are promoted: teamwork, cooperation, effort, discipline, etc. Proper management of these involves learning suitable for both the sports world and for any other field.
  • Sometimes, however, we find ourselves abandoning sports practice at this time. Knowing the motivations of young athletes, as well as knowing how to optimize these, is key to ensuring continuity in this area and promoting a healthy lifestyle. The psychologist can help in this aspect optimizing the motivation of the young athlete, and advising the technician so that he acquires tools that allow him to orient and manage it correctly.
  • Sport is an area that generates a lot of emotions. No one who knows this world would hesitate to affirm it. Joy, anger, frustration, anxiety ... All of them occur both in sport and in life itself, and the difference between knowing how to manage them or not can mean success in both areas. Thus, sport is a suitable context to work on different skills in the athlete that end up promoting good emotional intelligence, extrapolated to all areas of the person's life.
