Abstract

General Background: Athletic performance depends on physical, technical, tactical, and psychological preparation, particularly in sports requiring rapid responses under competitive pressure. Specific Background: Handball students encounter changing situations that require concentration, emotional control, confidence, anxiety management, mental imagery, and achievement motivation. Knowledge Gap: Previous research had not specifically examined the relationship between psychological preparation and performance outcomes among students from different academic levels within the selected college context. Aims: This study evaluates psychological skill levels, examines their relationship with handball performance, and compares students from the first, second, and fourth academic years. Results: A descriptive correlational design involved 75 students, including 15 participants in the pilot study and 60 in the main study. The adopted instrument contained 24 items distributed across visualization, relaxation, concentration, anxiety management, self-confidence, and athletic achievement motivation. Test–retest reliability reached 0.88, while dimension coefficients ranged from 0.85 to 0.87. First-year students recorded the highest reported psychological stress level at 73%, compared with 42% among second-year students and 21% among fourth-year students. The comparison between the first and second years was statistically significant (t = 3.2), whereas comparisons involving the fourth year were reported as nonsignificant. The study concluded that selected psychological capacities improved more than others and were strongly associated with performance outcomes. Novelty: The research presents a stage-based comparison linking six psychological dimensions with practical handball performance. Implications: Academic programs should integrate structured mental preparation to strengthen confidence, concentration, emotional regulation, and competitive readiness. Highlights: First-year participants recorded the highest reported stress level at 73%. Second- and fourth-year cohorts presented lower values of 42% and 21%. Mental preparation was reported as strongly associated with practical performance outcomes. Keywords: Psychological Skills, Achievement Sports Sciences, Handball.

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.
