Abstract

The article focuses on a study investigating the role of psychological factors in the preparation of combat sports athletes. Conducted by researchers from Korea National Open University, the study involved 327 athletes from disciplines such as boxing, judo, taekwondo, and wrestling in South Korea. It found that a greater sense of challenge in competition preparation was linked to increased levels of deliberate practice and goal commitment, suggesting that fostering a challenge-oriented mindset can enhance athletes' training engagement and commitment. The research provides practical insights for coaches aiming to improve performance in combat sports. [Extracted from the article]
