RESUMEN: En este artículo se presenta la intervención psicológica realizada con dos atletas de alto rendimiento de 19 y 23 años de edad cada uno. Se realizaron 10 sesiones de una duración media de 60-90 minutos cada una. Esta intervención se fundamenta en el coaching motivacional, en concreto, se utiliza el modelo de "La Jirafa de Cantón", donde el psicólogo genera un entorno facilitador en el que se resalta el papel activo del participante a la hora de analizar su proceso motivacional completo, sustentado en el conocimiento científico (Cantón, 2013). Respecto a la evaluación de su eficacia se utiliza un diseño A-B-A con los siguientes instrumentos: Escala de autoestima de Rosenberg (Rosenberg, 1989), Escala de Autoeficacia de Schwarzer y Baessler (1996) y Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff (Díaz et al., 2006). Los resultados muestran mejoras en las variables analizadas (bienestar psicológico, autoestima y autoeficacia), siendo la más notoria en Autoeficacia, coincidiendo este dato en ambos participantes. Se concluye que el coaching es una estrategia de intervención psicológica eficaz en modificación de la conducta en deportistas de alto nivel. PALABRAS CLAVE: coaching deportivo; entrenamiento psicológico; bienestar psicológico; autoeficacia; autoestima. Psychological training through motivational coaching in high performance: an athletic running experience ABSTRACT: This article reports the psychological intervention carried out with two high-performance walkers aged 19 and 23 years. This consisted of 10 sessions of an average duration of 60-90 minutes. Intervention was based on motivational coaching. The "Cantón's Giraffe" model, where the psychologist generates a facilitating environment that emphasizes the active role of the participants in the complete motivational process, based on scientific knowledge, was specifically used (Cantón, 2013). To assess its effectiveness, an A-B-A design was used with the following instruments: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1989), Schwarzer and Baessler Self-Efficacy Scale (1996), and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (Díaz et al., 2006). The results show improvements in the analyzed variables (psychological well-being; self-efficacy; self esteem), most notably in self-efficacy in both participants. It is concluded that coaching is an effective psychological intervention strategy for modifying behavior in high-level athletes.
