“…Literature review found no published international studies on transcultural adaptation of this instrument to other populations. Only one study was found to have used the Sport Confidence Inventory as a data collection instrument (Paquette & Sullivan, 2009). As previously mentioned, we suggest the scenery is associated to the fact that the instrument's development study is yet to be published and was kindly provided by Professor Robin Vealey Ph.D. for this study.…”

This study aimed to adapt the Sport-Confidence Inventory to Brazilian athletes and to investigate validity and reliability of adapted instrument. Elite athletes from 12 to 22 years of age that practice artistic gymnastics, rhythm gymnastics or football have participated in the study. The research procedures were: a) to realize the transcultural adaptation of SCI; b) to investigate evidences of content validity by pilot study; c) to investigate the construct validity, by principal component analysis; and d) to investigate reliability evidences by analysis of Cronbach's alpha values of the adapted instrument. Results showed reliability evidences of the instrument to the application in gymnasts and football players. Construct validity indicated different composition to the subscales in each group. Future research may improve the semantic quality of Questionário de Autoconfiança no Esporte, considering the particularities of each sport.

“…Conceptual ambiguity also pervades in coaching PS measurement tools. For example, Paquette and Sullivan (2012) constructed a scale based on the Mental Skills Questionnaire (MSQ; Bull, Albinson, & Shambrook, 2002) which asked coaches to rate how frequently they implemented seven skills into their coaching sessions (e.g., imagery ability, mental preparation, motivation). Unfortunately, the authors did not comprehensively define PS, and 6 some subscales (e.g., motivation) are not 'skills'.…”

“…Despite the potential advantages, the coaching of PS by coaches rarely occurs, and past research suggests that coaches report a lack of confidence and knowledge as barriers in delivering PS (Callow, Roberts, Bringer, & Langan, 2010;Paquette & Sullivan, 2012). A small number of coach PS interventions exist (Callow et al, 2010;Edwards, Law, & Latimer-Cheung, 2012;Hall & Rodgers, 1989;Harwood, 2008), with these typically being workshop based and evaluated via coach selfreport.…”

The present paper is part of a program of research investigating coaches delivering psychological skills (PS). Here three studies feature an original conceptualization of coaching PS and the development and validation of two questionnaires capturing the coaching of PS. We conducted a qualitative investigation to establish a conceptual framework which included the fundamental coaching of PS behaviors (CPS-F) and the needs supportive coaching of PS (CPS-NS). We then tested the factor structure of two subsequently developed questionnaires via a Bayesian Structural Equation Modelling (BSEM) approach to Confirmatory Factor Analysis across two samples and ran tests of invariance, concurrent, discriminant and predictive validity. The CPS-F questionnaire showed an excellent fit for a three-factor model, whereas the CPS-NS demonstrated an excellent single factor fit. Significant relationships with theoretically related constructs suggested concurrent, discriminant and predictive validity. The findings are expected to significantly further research into our understanding of coaches coaching PS.

Mental skills are important aspects of successful sport performance in all sport competitions. This study was designed to assess and compare the mental skills of men players' positions in premier league volleyball team in year 2015. This cross sectional research includes 69 Iran men's premier league volleyball team players in year 2015 who participated in the premier league competitions in year 2015. Mental skills as well as demographic data of the players was assessed by OMSAT-3 questioner and a personal data form. One-way ANOVA was employed to analyze the data. The result of analysis indicated that there was no significant differences between the main components of fundamental (p=0.21), psychosomatic (p=0.12), and cognitive skills (p=0.584) of different positions of the volleyball players. However, there was a significant difference between the sub skills of reaction to stress (0.002) and fear control (0.020) of different positions of volleyball players. Outside hitters and opposite hitter were significantly weaker than the setters, libero and middle blocker in fear control (p<0.05) and reaction to stress (p<0.05). Given the importance of mental skills in the achievement of volleyball players, focusing on improving the mental skills of the mentioned positions in volleyball especially in outside hitters and opposite hitter is highly recommended.
