Psychological aspects like anxiety, injuries’ effects, professional psychological support (PPS), psychological training (PT), or athlete-coach relationships could influence shooters’ performance. This study tried to determine which aspects were critical from the shooters’ perspective. Eight elite shooters were interviewed. After using qualitative methods, the following categories were obtained: importance of PT; anxiety and competition relationship; mental preparation; PPS; stress during training; injuries’ psychological effects and coach’s influence. PT is important for shooter’s performance, being PPS a key aspect. Moreover, anxiety levels are critical, raising during the pre-competitive period and oscillating during competition. Furthermore, shooters considered more effective the stress placed on training by the coach than by themselves. Accordingly, the coach plays a key role. Surprisingly, injuries did not affect shooters psychologically, nor in their competitive performance. We conclude that the combination of PPS, shooter competitive experience and the optimal coach’s work can promote a greater performance in Olympic shooting.

“…In addition, self -confidence scores (with the use of CSAI -2) correlated positively with performance in young gymnasts (Tsopani et al, 2011). In relation, analyses identified greater levels of anxiety, both somatic and cognitive, among younger and least experienced athletes (Robazza & Bortoli, 2007;Jones & Uphill, 2004;Stoeber et al, 2007;Parnabasa & Mahamood, 2013).…”

Theory and practice of sport psychology suggest that emotional and behavioral states of anxiety and aggression both affect athletic performance. The aim of the present study was the investigation of possible differentiation among water -polo male and female players according to their anxiety, anger and aggression levels. The sample consisted of 225 players (120 men, 105 women), between the ages of 17-39 years old. They completed the Greek versions of the: (a) CSAI -2, and (b) CAAS instruments. Results revealed differences among almost all questionnaire variables, between sport (athletic) experience' groups. Finally, male athletes of the 2 nd national division identified greater levels of anger and aggression in comparison to all other division groups. Overall, results shine some light on facets that play an important role and can affect the athletic performance of water -polo players.

“…Athletes assumed anxiety to deteriorate towards performance and resulting in decreases in performance. Therefore, it is not surprising, the measurement of competitive anxiety has been receiving more attention, perhaps any other construct in sport and exercise psychology and several anxiety inventories have been proven to be excellent models for the development of psychometrically sound instruments (Parnabas & Mahamood, 2013).…”
