Needs diagnosis to work out the tactical preparation psychological bases in balls sports

Abstract

Training is a systematic pedagogical process aimed at preparing and exercising for sports practice. The balls sportsman should acquire the necessary knowledge to cope with the competition in an efficient shape. The collective character of games, such as handball, basketball, volleyball and others, calls for the efforts of all the players making up the team to a main goal (attack/defense). Cooperative harmonized actions of the players make sense over three basic moments of the game. These needs are determined by means of different methods and techniques, such as: observation, performance test, the survey and the interview. Main needs center on the theoretical and methodological conceptions of every component involved in the tactics psychological bases. Important topics concerning athletes´ needs to organize tactical behavior alternatives, information processing to respond to tactical actions, cognitive operations, tactical system conceptive model, action prediction and decision-making, which contribute to the quality of response associated with basic tactical problems, are dealt with throughout this work.
