A influência dos fatores psicológicos no desempenho de atletas de futebol

Abstract

This study is about the influence of psychological factors on soccer players’ performance, in order to understand which factors directly influence their performance, particularly those associated with the charges and demands that such athletes are subjected. The survey was developed with athletes from Real Soccer Club Association, in the city of Palmeiras de Goiás. Thirty athletes aged 18-47 years were analyzed through a questionnaire with 10 questions to know if there is no influence of psychological factors on these athletes’ performance in the decisive match moments. The results obtained from the questionnaire showed that psychological factors directly influence the performance of athletes. We realize that in the Real Soccer Club Association this training is not widespread and the vast majority of athletes surveyed felt this need to optimize their performance. Therefore, we hope that through this research, the club reviews the way to work the sports training, allowing the inclusion of psychological factors in trainings.
