preparation of badminton athletes in category 13-15 of the EIDE of Villa Clara” has its origin
from the inadequacies in the planning of psychological objectives and the current lack of
criteria for psycho-pedagogical work by coaches with students. Appreciating and validating
psycho-pedagogical work actions to improve the preparation of trainers from the psychological
point of view in the practice of badminton is the main objective of the work and the actions are
designed based on the determination of the needs of athletes and coaches considering the
aspects of social development influencing the athlete, the assessment of the criterion of
specialists, the observation of preparatory skills and trainings, the review of documents, the
psychological characterization of the athletes conducted by the Institute of Sports Medicine
and the application of two special tests: “Motivos Deportivos” and “Rendimiento Psicológico”;
which allowed to analyze, evaluate and validate the actions of guidance required in the work of
psychological preparation by the coaches for what constitutes the main result of the
investigation.
