Abstract

Mental skills training strategies should be beneficial for a variety of different skills, age groups and special populations. The purpose of the present research were twofold; initially to examine performance strategies in various sport situations used by volleyball, sitting volleyball and amputee soccer players, and comparing it among the sports; and secondly, whether the current performance level of athletes and the years participating in sport would show a significant difference in their application o f psychological skills during practice and competition. The refined version of Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) was administrated to athletes (N=309) competing across a range of performance standards in volleyball, sitting volleyball and amputee soccer sports. Results revealed that, relative to competition strategies, participants scored highest on activation and lowest on relaxation (4.10±0.52; 3.03±0=1.04, respectively) and in practice environment they scored highest on self-talk and lowest on relaxation (3.84±0=.91; 2.80±0.98, respectively). Examination of the results showed moderately strong correlations among many of the strategies in both competition and practice environments (P
