Psychological Support And Its Relationship To Planning And Organization From The Perspective Of Players In Professional Futsal League Clubs

Abstract

The study of psychological support is a crucial aspect of enhancing athletic performance and achieving training objectives. The training process is not limited to physical and technical aspects alone; rather, it is an integrated system involving the interaction of players and coaches. This, in turn, reflects the coach's awareness of the organizational aspects in managing and directing training sessions toward predetermined goals. All of this impacts the psychological and motivational state of players within professional futsal league clubs. Hence, the importance of this research lies in its exploration of a topic that combines the psychological and administrative/organizational aspects of sports. This is achieved through examining the relationship between psychological support, planning, and organization, as well as providing scientific indicators that can assist coaches and sports administrations in developing the training environment and improving the management of training sessions. The research problem raises questions about the ability of some coaches to utilize administrative communication, decision-making, psychological support, and building interpersonal relationships within the team. The research aims to develop scales for psychological support and planning/organization, identify the levels of these scales, and determine the nature of the relationship between psychological support, planning, and organization. The research methodology is as follows:

The researcher used the descriptive method, and the nature of the research problem determined the type of descriptive study using a correlational approach. The research sample consisted of players from professional futsal league clubs, totaling (220) players, selected using a comprehensive enumeration method. The results showed a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the two scales. The conclusions and recommendations indicate that the psychological support and planning/organization scales proved valid for measuring their intended purpose. The research results showed that the level of psychological support, planning, and organization among professional futsal league coaches, from the players' perspective, was high, indicating a relatively positive psychological environment.
