ПСИХОЛОГІЧНА ПІДГОТОВКА СТУДЕНТІВ-СПОРТСМЕНІВ АГРАРНОГО ВНЗ, ЯКІ ЗАЙМАЮТЬСЯ КОМАНДНИМИ СПОРТИВНИМИ ІГРАМИ

Insufficient psychological preparation of the athlete is one of the reasons for his poor performance in the competition. The ability to show the best results and realize their potential depends on both technical training and mental reliability of an athlete. This issue is of particular importance when the team is completed by students of different courses that have different psychological preparation for the competitions. In our study we used an integrated pedagogical approach. By the method of V. E. Milman the mental performance of the students of the 1–2 and 3–5 years before and after the training on the complex psychological and pedagogical approach was compared. The analysis of the obtained data allowed to establish the differences in the components of mental performance reliability before and after the application of psycho-pedagogical approach. It is emphasized that the level of competitive motivation of students-athletes enrolled in the Agrarian University for different courses is high. This suggests that they are willing to work at training sessions, respond positively to the need to participate in the competitions at various levels. Depending on the skill the level of athletes’ indicators of mental reliability is also growing. This means that players of the 3–5 courses have much more experience of competitive struggle, more adequately react on external factors, emotions are not in conflict with the agreed plan of action to optimally regulate the energy potential in the pre-start situations in the course of the competition. The study revealed that the students of the 3–5 courses have higher mental level of reliability than students of the 1–2 courses. The effectiveness of the psycho-pedagogical approach for the correction of indicators of psychological reliability of athletes-students of the Agrarian University was experimentally confirmed. Prospects for further research: analysis of factors affecting improvement of the efficiency of competitive activity of athletes-students of the Agrarian University.
