Abstract

The main objective obtained from the empirical systematization presented in this work is to document the achievements and obstacles that could be observed in the Guayas Sports Federation (FedeGuayas) revealing the psychological factors that influence the sports performance of young people from 12 to 15 years old. A series of specific objectives were established, among which it was particularly important to identify each psychological factor that is generated in each of the athletes, evaluate the suitability of the tools to measure these factors, in addition to separating the effects of gender and age during the measurement. The method used is qualitative and descriptive, which allows a deeper understanding of the experiences and perceptions of adolescents from the environments in which they constantly interact. Methods such as direct observation and individual semi-structured interviews are used, which have facilitated the reality that young people have experienced throughout their sports career. Research has highlighted psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and lack of motivation, which affect sports performance, and which also affect their personal lives. The results of the research underline the importance of addressing emotional and cognitive aspects in sports training. It is highlighted that proper management of these factors can significantly improve the performance and general well-being of those who belong to a sports discipline. In addition, the need to implement psychological interventions in the sports field that promote the comprehensive development of young people is highlighted. Through this research we aim to improve the understanding of sports psychology and emphasize the importance of addressing the emotional and cognitive aspects of sports training. The results of the research allow us to help improve psychological intervention in the sports field and promote the comprehensive development of young people, both in their daily lives and in the sport they practice. In conclusion, this systematization of experiences not only contributes to the understanding of sports psychology, but also provides us with valuable information to improve psychological intervention practices in the sports field and implement a promotion in a healthier and more effective environment for the development of young talents in their respective sports designations.
