Um percurso na Psicologia do Desporto - Intervenções e Desafios inerentes no Futsal

Abstract

The Curricular Intership carried out at Boavista Futebol Clube, more specifically in the Futsal modality, consisted of monitoring two team levels: Juniores (U-19) and Seniors B. This internship, carried out within the scope of Sport Psychology, took place between September 2021 and May 2022, was the culmination of the learning and knowledge acquired throughout this study cycle. The main objective of this internship was to accompany the athletes of the levels assigned to me and gradually develop sustained approaches in theoretical-conceptual terms. Firstly the activities were in group and we called them informational and training sessions. We then moved on to needs assessment approaches, through individual interviews and with the application of questionnaire surveys. Based on this assessment of the athletes profiles, specific and individual interventions were carried out, according to the notified needs. This last interventional stage, with an individual and specific character, culminated in the definition and establishment of goals with the athletes. These goals could be directed to the various dimensions of the atlhletes lives (professional, sports or academic dimension). This adaptation to the various dimensions occurred because I believe that na athlete, before being na athlete, is primarily a social human being and all areas of his life are intrinsically related. The purpose of these activities and interventions was to inform and train the athletes with important matters and to develop athletes perceptions of their weaknesses in terms of coping skills and to promote activities for their development and optimization. The impact of the activities developed proved to be positive and enriching, for me as a trainee and for all the athletes involved.
