Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of integrating life skills into a soccer training program for positive youth development. The research design used in this research is Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The data collection technique used in this research is a questionnaire. The instrument used is the Life Skills Scale for Sport (LSSS) questionnaire instrument. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The research results show tcount (17.687) > ttable (1.671), which means there is a significant difference in results between the group that was integrated with life skills compared to the group that was not integrated with life skills. Based on these differences, it can be seen that the life skills integration group is better than the group that is not life skills integrated. This proves that the goal can be programmed and planned as well as possible in order to get good results. This research provides a recommendation for teachers and coaches to be able to create programs that are intentionally or integrated into various sports activities to provide better results than those that do not. These results certainly provide a recommendation for future researchers to continue and carry out research that can also have a good impact on athletes in sports.
