Aspectos psicológicos en el entrenamiento y el desempeño de boxeadores amateurs en el año 2024 en la ciudad de Quito.

Abstract

In the field of amateur boxing, this study investigates various psychological factors that impact sports performance and emotional well-being of athletes. Resilience, stress, motivation, attention, concentration, self-confidence, anxiety and anger were examined as crucial variables. The findings highlight that resilience plays a critical role in helping boxers manage stress and adapt to competitive challenges. Motivation, driven by personal goals and social support, emerges as a determining factor in maintaining commitment to sport. Attention and concentration are revealed as key skills to execute precise movements and maintain focus during competitions. Self-confidence, influenced by a positive mindset and personal discipline, is crucial to facing physical and emotional challenges. However, precompetitive anxiety and anger represent significant obstacles, affecting both sports performance and the emotional well-being of athletes. This study highlights the importance of addressing these psychological dimensions to optimize sports performance and promote the comprehensive well-being of amateur boxers. Understanding and managing these variables not only improves performance in the ring, but also contributes to the personal and emotional development of athletes. The results obtained provide a solid basis for developing specific psychological interventions that support preparation and competition in this demanding and competitive sport.
