THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG-WILLED QUALITIES OF ADOLESCENTS ON THE ACHIEVEMENT OF SPORTS SUCCESS

Author: Karyakin Roman E., Mezinov Vladimir N.

A characteristic feature of teenagers is their desire to achieve high sports results. They tend to set high goals for themselves. The most important quality of the “sporting character” is determined by strong-willed qualities. The process of forming strong-willed personality traits is very complex and proceeds throughout the evolutionary stages, but its strengthening is the main goal that needs to be achieved. The concept of personality quality in sports reflects the result of the athlete’s goal achievement process, in which principles, values and social norms encourage them to act consistently. The will to win can be defined as a path to achieving personal mastery and success in sport. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the prevailing strong-willed qualities of the personality of adolescents and to identify their influence on achieving sports success. The research base is International Gymnasium “Skolkovo”, Moscow. The sample is 124 students from 12 to 14. The empirical research methods are the study and generalization of pedagogical experience on the problem of the research, questionnaires, interviewing. The study showed a significant positive relationship between strong-willed qualities, motivation and achievement of sports success. We have identified the following character traits that allow teenagers to get high sporting achievements: ambition, resilience, stress resistance, masculinity, discipline, dedication, conscientiousness, perseverance, purposefulness, responsibility. The upbringing and development of strong-willed qualities of young athletes is based on general rules: it is necessary to prepare young athletes for athletic excellence, providing optimal, stable results, improving both physical conditions and technical, perceptual and emotional aspects of training; to set specific and measurable goals individually for each athlete; there should be feedback on the fulfillment of goals; a combination of theoretical and practical training is a very effective method of teaching motor or perceptual skills in sport in changing conditions; it is necessary to constantly achieve results in training and evaluate them. The analysis of the results of the study helps to clarify the relationship between personality traits, involvement in sport and sports success. The success or failure of athletes depends on a combination of many factors: physical, tactical, technical and psychological. Therefore, there is a need for a holistic approach to the development of adolescent athletes. To do this, it is necessary to create optimal conditions for holistic development through a combination of sports and education.
