Methodology for overcoming Artistic Gymnastics coaches for the psychological preparation of athletes

Abstract

This article aims to improve an overcoming methodology for artistic gymnastics coaches for the direction of the psychological preparation process of athletes, an aspect that today presents limitations from theory, practice and properly, from research. A theoretical matrix is assumed that reconceptualizes the term of psychological preparation or psychological training in the field of this sport, an aspect that serves as a starting point to perfect this process. In this case, the methodology is based on the interrelation between the basic elements of sport psychology and the specialized actions of psychological preparation for these athletes. For the article, theoretical research methods and techniques are used in essence, such as analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and generalization, as well as workshops on critical opinion and collective construction. The constituents of the methodology itself, guide the design of actions that the coaches must carry out once they are overcome, everything that must produce significant changes with respect to the results of that sport.
