The participants answered the Questionnaire on Psychological Skills and Behaviours in Young Children's Sport Competitions Scale (Godoy-Izquierdo et al., 2006 a, b). Young athletes' level of control over psychological skills is generally deficient, and no significant differences were found between racquet-sport athletes and football players, although significant differences in some psychological skills did exist in the case of lower-ranking categories. No significant differences were found as regards experience with sport and competition. The results indicate the appropriateness of considering psychological training so as to complete players' preparation in order to improve the psychological skills that allow them to adequately tackle the increasing demands of participating in a sport as their level of involvement progresses in both individual and group sports.}, organization = {Este estudio ha sido en parte financiado gracias a las ayudas de la Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa de la Junta de Andalucía concedidas al Grupo de investigación “Medicina Conductual/Psicología de la Salud” (CTS-0267).}, publisher = {Universidad de las Islas Baleares}, keywords = {Youth sport}, keywords = {Assessment}, keywords = {Psychological skills}, keywords = {Sports instruction}, keywords = {Deporte juvenil}, keywords = {Evaluación}, keywords = {Habilidades psicológicas}, title = {Nivel de dominio de las habilidades psicológicas en jóvenes jugadores de tenis de mesa, bádminton y fútbol}, author = {Godoy Izquierdo, Débora and Vélez Toral, Mercedes and Pradas de la Fuente, Francisco}, }
