“…Several skills are necessary to employ learned strategies and tactics during competitions or training and players are not always successful in controlling their potential (5). Furthermore, these skills might be controlled by different parameters including "intelligence quotient" (I.Q), "emotional intelligence" (EI), and "playing position" (6,7). Thus, strengthening the psychological parameters and practicing psychological skills is really essential for the sports competition.…”

Background. Soccer is a popular sport with a large number of players all over the world. Besides, it has considerable economic and social effects. Thus, it is necessary to find out the factors which influence soccer players' performance. Objectives. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between intellectual intelligence (I.Q) (Raven's progressive matrices) and emotional intelligence (EI) (Bar-On emotional intelligence scale) with the performance (Charbonneau sports performance questionnaire), and assess the psychological characteristics of young male soccer players in different playing positions and the descriptive method with a correlation technique was used. Methods. Pearson correlation coefficient was used for questions analysis and One-way ANOVA was used for testing the hypothesizes. 120 young Iranian male soccer players aged 17-19 from different soccer schools participated in the study. The players were divided into four playing positions: forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. Results. The obtained data revealed a positive linear correlation between soccer players' IQ, EQ, and sports performance. Also, significant differences were observed between BarOn subscale scores of the players in different playing positions. Conclusion. The obtained outcomes reinforce the hypothesis that positional differences in terms of psychological characteristics exist. In addition, it might be concluded that young soccer players might be differentiated by their psychological skills and their playing positions.

“…Ulaşılabilen çalışmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar ise motivasyon, özgüven, gevşeme, uyarılma, hedef yönelimi ve başarı motivasyonu gibi psikolojik özelliklerin mevkiye göre değişebileceği yönündedir (Andrew, Grobbelaar & Potgieter, 2007;Najah & Rejeb, 2007). Najah & Rejeb (2015) futbolda hücum oyuncularının motivasyon, özgüven ve uyarılma düzeylerinin orta saha ve savunma oyuncularından daha iyi olduğunu belirtmektedir. Andrew, Grobbelaar & Potgieter (2007) ragbi'de oyun kurucu (half-backs) olarak görev yapan oyuncuların başarı motivasyonlarının, 2 numara olarak görev yapan oyuncuların (hookers) ise gerginlik düzeylerini kontrol etmede diğer mevkilerde görev yapan oyunculardan daha iyi olduğunu bildirmektedir.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı, amatör futbolcuların hedef yönelimleri ile algılanan motivasyonel iklim özelliklerinin oynanan pozisyona göre değişip değişmediğinin belirlenmesidir. Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 460 amatör erkek futbolcu katıldı (yaş; 21,72±4,63 yıl ve futbol deneyimi; 9,24±4,18 yıl). Futbolcular oynadıkları mevkilere göre; defans (n=199), orta saha (n=187) ve forvet (n=74) oyuncusu olarak adlandırıldı. Algılanan motivasyonel iklim ve hedef yönelim puanları, Türkçeye uyarlamaları Toros (2002) tarafından yapılan Sporda Görev-Ego Yönelim Ölçeği ve Sporda Algılanan Motivasyonel İklim Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Pearson korelasyon analizi futbol deneyiminin görev yönelimi, ego yönelimi, ustalık iklimi ve performans iklimi üzerinde etkili olmadığını gösterdi. ANOVA ve post hoc Tukey testleri; defans oyuncuların görev yönelim puanları ile ustalık iklim puanlarının orta saha oyuncularınınkinden daha yüksek olduğunu gösterdi (p=0,003 ve p˂0,001). Orta saha oyuncularının ego yönelim ve performans iklim puanları arasında, orta saha oyuncularının lehine istatistiksel düzeyde anlamlı fark tespit edildi (p˂0,001 ve p˂0,001). Forvet oyuncularının görev ve ego yönelim puanları ile orta saha ve defans oyuncularının görev ve ego yönelim puanları arasında fark tespit edilmezken, forvet oyuncularının performans iklimi puanının orta saha oyuncularının puanından daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p˂0,001). Sonuçlar: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre; görev yönelimi ve ustalık iklimi puanı yüksek olan sporcular defans oyuncusu, ego yönelim puanı ile performans iklim puanı yüksek olan sporcular ise orta saha oyuncusu olarak oynatılabilir. Forvet oyuncularının hedef yönelim ve motivasyonel iklim düzeylerinin tespiti için daha geniş kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmakla birlikte ölçeklerden elde edilen puanlar; fiziksel ve fizyolojik testlerle birlikte değerlendirilmelidir.

This study aims to identify the essential performance indicators in two level of soccer expertise. A total of 84 elite's soccer players and 100 novice players from eight soccer academies in Malaysia were enrolled and subjected to standard anthropometric, fitness, skills related performance testing and responded to the questionnaire in mastery and performance. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to determine the most indispensable variables pertinent to the requirement of the game in relation to the level of expertise of the players. The initial PCA shows seven components out of 26 as the most significant for both elite and novice soccer players with a considerable eigenvalue > 1. Moreover, the PCA after varimax rotation highlighted seven principles components (PCs) for elite and novice players respectively. Each of the seven components contained varifactors (VF) selected based on their higher factor loading and that distinguish the players on their expertise. The first PCs for elite's players revealed strong loading from sit and reach (0.780), vertical jump (0.635), VO 2max (0.637) and age (0.752). The second PCs revealed weight (0.639), biceps (0.859), triceps (0.769), subscapular (0.847), suprailiac (0.886) and middle upper arm circumference (0.776). The third PCs revealed 505 agility (0.618), 5m speed (0.712), 10m speed (0.858) and 20m speed (0.929). The forth PCs revealed task (-0.675) and short pass (0.789) and the last PCs revealed sit up (-0.702). For novice's players, the first PCs revealed vertical jump (0.624), weight (0.861), height (0.856), sitting height (0.632), middle upper arm circumference (0.673), calf circumference (0.790) and maturity (0.651). The second PCs revealed biceps (0.832), triceps (0.899), subscapular (0.816) and suprailiac (0.869). The third PCs revealed 5m speed (-0.847), 10m speed (-0.877), 20m speed (-0.785) and VO 2max (0.658). The forth PCs revealed task (0.694) and ego (0.747) and the last PCs revealed short pass (0.766).
