The Effect of Mental Energy on Psychological Skills and Courage in Soccer Players

Abstract

This paper investigated whether athletic mental energy (AME) mediated soccer psychological skills and sports courage in soccer players. The study constructed a theoretical model tested using the Sobel test. The sample consisted of 369 active amateur and professional soccer players playing in the Turkish Super League, PTT 1st League, 2nd League, 3rd League, Amateur, and Honey Leagues of the Turkish Football Federation 2021-2022. Data were gathered via a personal information form, the Soccer Psychological Skills Scale-16 (SPSS-16), the Sports Courage Scale-31 (SCS-31), and the Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES). The results revealed that sports courage positively affected AME and psychological skill levels. Athletic mental energy affected psychological skill levels positively and mediated psychological skills and sports courage. The results verified the theoretical model. Further investigation into the domains of athletic mental energy, psychological skills, and courage within the realm of sports is essential for enhanced comprehension. Football players should receive insights into the psychological facets associated with courage, athletic mental energy, and psychological skills in football. Including psychological skills training in football programs for younger age groups is warranted. The scope of research can extend to diverse sample groups, thereby enriching the existing body of literature.
