The interest in the study of psychological variables associated with sports performance as a starting point for more efficient and systematic training programs to achieve success in sport is an evident need in our current sports context. This paper focuses on the characterization of psychological skills in a women's basketball team in the youth category prior to the National Youth Games. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out where descriptive statistics were used to investigate the state of said skills, as well as the Pearson correlation coefficient to search for significant relationships with demographic variables. The adapted Sports Execution Psychological Inventory was applied. The most developed psychological skills are the motivational level, attitude control, self-confidence and visual-imaginative control. No significant relationships were established between the demographic variables, nor between these and psychological abilities. There is a greater relationship between self-confidence and attention control with other psychological skills, but there is no significant relationship between them.
