Like many other areas of psychology, it began to develop intensively in the 60-70s. XX century, and at first the main research focused on the study of differences between individual athletes (-> differential psychology), abilities and opportunities to act in stressful conditions of competitions (-> stress), ways to increase the effectiveness of training.

Later, the range of issues being developed was significantly expanded. In relation to each sport, taking into account the achievements of general, pedagogical, age and social psychology, programs of special training complexes are developed aimed at increasing the physical and mental fitness of athletes, their emotional-volitional, ethical, moral and collectivist preparedness.

In the domestic psychology of sports, the regularities effective formation motor skills and abilities, ways to achieve high rates of strength, endurance, agility and coordination of movements, based on the concept of movement building levels.

Holotropic therapy - Holotropic therapy (from the Greek holos - whole and tropos - direction, turn) is a psychotherapeutic technique developed by S. and K. Grof, based on the results of psychedelic studies, in which certain levels of the human psyche were identified. Such levels included sensory experience, which is formed by strong experiences that do not have personal significance; psychodynamic, or biographical, experience represented by personally significant events; perinatal, or prebiographical, experience, the content of which corresponds to the experiences of dying, death and biological rebirth; and, finally, transpersonal or superbiographical experience, which is associated with the expansion of consciousness and the experience of phylogenetic experience. The procedure of holotropic therapy aimed at activating the unconscious content of the psyche involves the use of intense breathing, listening to specially selected music and working with one's own body.

We cannot get a complete picture of an athlete based only on the level of oxygen consumption, glycogen stores and biomechanical measurements ... The main thing to take into account is psychology, an understanding of those personal qualities that determine the highest achievements in sports. If an athlete is able to manage stress, is resistant to interference and is able to adapt to changing conditions, then we have a complete set ... Research and applied development should be carried out comprehensively, taking into account various aspects, but especially psychological ones.

Peter Snell, three-time Olympic champion, PhD

Having traveled the path of big-time sports, we did not seriously think about the role of psychology in the preparation of high-class athletes, did not pay due attention to the individual approach, the relationship between the coach and the athlete, in which we lost a lot. It is not uncommon for a vanity-obsessed coach to think of himself as a psychologist. Later, looking back, you notice with bitterness that for some reason many young talented athletes did not reach their goal.<…>The role of a psychologist in our team is diminished, but in practice I had to resort to his help. I believe that, using the recommendations and advice of a psychologist, I managed not only to keep many athletes in the team, but also to achieve significant results.<…>Even indirect contact with psychological science - through communication with a psychologist - gave a reason to overestimate a lot, to see its enormous possibilities.

Khmelev A. A., Honored Trainer of the USSR

I used to be very jealous of the appearance of a stranger in the national team. Thought I was on my own the best psychologist. Gayich also thought before me. But I can't seem to cope... I can tell you about the importance of the match. It is impossible to remove the sense of responsibility for the result, which kills the sparks in the eyes ... My assistant and I will go to special courses. Maybe after them it will be easier to understand the psychologist. And then sometimes some people turn, but you don’t understand what they are doing and why. So it was in Dynamo, when the guys were offered to put the cubes together, disassemble the parachute in order to feel like a team. But it's obvious to me: the team needs a psychologist.

The subject of sports psychology. Sports psychology is a field of psychological science that studies the patterns of human mental manifestations in the process of training and competitive activities. Briefly, we can say that the psychology of sports is the science of a person in the field of sports. The need for the emergence of this science is due to the specific conditions of sports activity, primarily the desire for maximum achievements, competitiveness (the desire to win), large, and sometimes extreme, physical and mental stress.

Sports psychology as a scientific and academic discipline includes a number of general and special sections this is:

1) motives for sports activities;

2) the psychological foundations of orientation and selection in different kinds sports and psychodiagnostics of inclinations and abilities;

3) psychomotor;

4) psychology of training and education in sports;

5) psychological features of the physical, technical and tactical training of athletes;

6) psychological characteristics of the personality of athletes;

7) psychology of a sports team;

8) conditions of an athlete and their psychoregulation;

9) styles of sports activities;

10) psychological characteristics of the personality and activities of coaches;

11) psychological characteristics of the personality and activities of sports referees;

12) psychological characteristics of various sports;

13) psychological characteristics of fans.

Unfortunately, not all of these aspects have been studied equally fully. For example, psychologists have begun to study the psychological characteristics of fans only recently, and the psychology of sports refereeing still remains a practically untouched topic.

methods, used in sports psychology to study the psychological characteristics of athletes, coaches, sports teams, are the same as in general psychology. They are divided into four groups: organizational, empirical, quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Organizational Methods determine the research strategy and include comparative (including age-comparative or cross-sectional method) and longitudinal.

Comparative method is used to study the psychological differences between athletes of various sports, game roles, gender, qualifications, the specifics of the training process and other factors.

Longitudinal method is used for the purpose of long-term (for several months and years) tracking the mental and psychomotor development of the same athlete or group of athletes. It makes it possible to visually and in dynamics trace the influence of sports training on the change in the psychological characteristics of athletes.

empirical methods are very diverse and include objective observation, self-observation, experimental method and psychodiagnostics.

Objective observation aims to study various behavioral, emotional manifestations of athletes in vivo their activities (in training, competitions, training camps). It can be continuous or selective, using verbal (tape recorder), shorthand or protocol recording, technical means (video equipment). Observation should be carried out according to a predetermined plan and scheme. It should be systematic, which will ensure a relatively complete collection of material on the issue of interest.

Introspection is a way of self-knowledge and is used by athletes in the analysis of their states, actions, technique of performed movements in order to improve. Self-observation should also be systematic, become a habit for an athlete. The results should be recorded in a diary so that a qualitative self-analysis can be carried out.

experimental method has two varieties - laboratory and natural experiments:

The laboratory experiment is carried out in special rooms equipped with signaling and registration devices and devices (reflectometer, kinematometer, tremometer, etc.);

A natural (field) experiment is organized in natural conditions (during training, competitions) and has two varieties - ascertaining and forming. These types of experiments also use equipment (portable or remote).

Psychodiagnostic methods aimed at identifying the inclinations, individual abilities and giftedness of an athlete as a whole, his typological features of the properties of the nervous system and temperament, personality traits, diagnosing conditions (pre-competitive, competitive and post-competitive), changes in psychological parameters after exercise. These methods can be used for: selection of candidates for teams, selection of an adequate type of activity and game role for a given athlete, as well as an activity style.

Methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis are used for mathematical and statistical processing of the data obtained in the study and their meaningful analysis.

A brief excursion into the history of the emergence and development of sports psychology

The term “sport psychology” was introduced into scientific use by the Russian psychologist V. F. Chizh (see: Psychology of Sport. St. Petersburg, 1910), although even earlier, at the very beginning of the 20th century, this concept was used in his articles by the founder of the modern Olympic movement Pierre de Coubertin. In 1913, at the initiative of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne (Switzerland), a congress on the psychology of sports was organized, and from that moment the science in question received official status. However, the weak development of sports did not contribute to the rapid development of science, which was only carried out by individual scientists, mainly in the USA, Germany, and the USSR. In our country, the pioneers of the psychology of sports were A. P. Nechaev, who published the monograph "Psychology of Physical Culture" in 1927, A. Ts. Puni, Z. I. Chuchmarev, P. A. Rudik. In the pre-war years, programs for the special course "Psychology of Sports" were developed for institutes of physical culture.

The intensive development of sports psychology began in many countries after the Second World War. This was due to the growing prestige of sports, as well as the struggle of two political systems- socialist and capitalist, striving to prove their superiority, including through sports achievements.

A little later, International Congresses on Sports Psychology began to be held regularly, in 1970 the International Journal of Sports Psychology was established, in the 1960s the European and North American Associations of Sports Psychologists arose.

In our country, in 1952, A. Ts. Puni defended the first doctoral dissertation on the psychology of sports, and then monographs appeared devoted to research in this branch of psychology, the authors of which were G. M. Gagaeva, S. Ch. Gellershtein, A. A Lalayan, V. G. Norakidze, A. Ts. Puni, O. A. Chernikova. In subsequent years, many scientists made a great contribution to the development of sports psychology: O. V. Dashkevich, E. A. Kalinin, R. A. Piloyan, V. M. Pisarenko, A. V. Rodionov, O. A. Sirotin, V A. Tolochek, I. P. Volkov, G. D. Gorbunov, T. T. Dzhamgarov, R. M. Zagainov, Yu. Ya. Kiselev, V. L. Marishchuk, A. N. Nikolaev, V. K Safonov, B. N. Smirnov, N. B. Stambulova, E. N. Surkov, Yu. L. Khanin, B. A. Vyatkin, A. D. Ganyushkin, A. A. Lalayan, Yu. a lot others. For ten years now, the psychology faculty of St. Petersburg State University has been training psychologists in the specialty "Sports Psychology".

At present, sports psychology has become not only a theoretical, but also a practical discipline that provides significant assistance to athletes and coaches in their desire to achieve high sports results.
