Observational Study on the Performance Approach to C Junior Football Players

Abstract

Motivation represents a source of energy for the development and affirmation of performance. During puberty, security needs and the need for affection and affiliation to the group prevail; during adolescence, individuals consider all components leading to the development of the self, to the professional affirmation and one's place within society. Affirmation through sport constitutes a complex process involving formal education and non-formal education, as well as individual skills and attitudes, which must be permanently known and valued. In this context, it is necessary to know the general and special skills for athletes, sensitivity, the psycho-intellectual capacity with reference to future performance and integration into the group.
