Abstract

General Background Scientific advancements in athletic disciplines require relying on systematic evaluations rather than chance to achieve high-level sporting accomplishments. Specific Background The individual sport investigated demands unique physical capabilities alongside specific mental characteristics, making exact determinants crucial when identifying active individuals capable of superior performance. Knowledge Gap There is a complete absence of scientifically studied standards concerning the recruitment of seventeen to eighteen-year-old athletes in central alongside southern regional clubs, resulting in significant wasted financial resources, time, alongside human energy. Aims This study seeks to identify the crucial technical alongside mental determinants regarding recruitment while establishing definitive measurement levels applicable to this specific demographic. Results Through a descriptive survey investigating forty regional athletes, the analysis verified five essential technical actions, including the serve alongside forehand groundstroke, alongside six mental attributes, such as psychological immunity alongside mental resilience. Factor analysis grouped these variables into an accuracy of performance component alongside a mental preparation component, yielding standardized scores distributed across five distinct proficiency grades ranging from excellent to weak. Novelty The research establishes a previously nonexistent, standardized technical alongside mental index specifically tailored toward the unexamined older adolescent category operating within these regional organizations. Implications Adopting these specific standard scores provides coaches with a sound scientific method to acquire talented athletes, thereby streamlining the recruitment process alongside optimizing resource allocation in regional sports organizations. Highlights: Mental resilience combined with physical execution accuracy directly determines athletic recruitment success within the seventeen to eighteen demographic. Factor analysis categorized fundamental court abilities alongside mental readiness into five standard evaluation grades ranging from excellent to weak. Implementing scientifically standardized assessments prevents financial resource waste alongside coaching effort depletion during the athlete evaluation process.

Abstract

General Background: Competitive football requires sustained concentration and attentional regulation because players must respond to rapidly changing situations while managing competitive pressure and anxiety. Specific Background: First-division football players encounter concentration difficulties, anxiety, distraction, and decision-making challenges during matches, creating a need to examine attentional control and competitive anxiety systematically. Knowledge Gap: The study addresses the need for a specific attentional control scale and an assessment of its relationship with competitive anxiety among first-division football players. Aims: This study develops an attentional control scale, determines competitive anxiety levels, and examines the relationship between attentional control and competitive anxiety. Results: The study used a descriptive survey design involving 128 players, including 18 players in the exploratory study and 110 in the main study. The attentional control instrument comprised 30 items across five dimensions: task focus, attentional control, resistance to distractions, selective attention, and maintaining focus and attention. Expert agreement ranged from 88.88% to 100%, while Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.836 for attentional control and 0.824 for sports competition anxiety. The reported correlation coefficients between competitive anxiety and the five attentional-control dimensions were 0.035, 0.038, 0.074, 0.070, and 0.029, respectively. Novelty: The study develops and applies two structured psychological scales specifically for first-division football players. Implications: The findings support continued psychological guidance and training focused on concentration, attentional control, distraction resistance, selective attention, and sustained attention during football preparation and competition. Highlights: The measurement instrument comprised 30 attentional-control items across five dimensions. Expert agreement for the proposed dimensions ranged from 88.88% to 100%. Reliability coefficients reached 0.836 and 0.824 for the two psychological scales. Keywords: Attentional control, Competitive anxiety, Players, Focus, Football.
