PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN THE ADAPTATION OF ADOLESCENTS TO SPORTS

Abstract

In addition to being physically fit, playing sports helps to improve the morale of young
people and increase their productivity. People who are mentally active, in particular, need to
alternate their activities with exercise and movement. It is also useful from a psychological point
of view. In order to shed light on the specifics of adolescent adaptation to sports sections, it is
necessary to study in more depth the psychological characteristics of adolescent athletes. The
adaptation of adolescent athletes to sports sections, the endurance of physical exercise, and the
psychological strength to cope with them with perseverance and perseverance, positively affect
the adolescent adaptation process. The role of the will in the process of adaptation is very
important here. Willpower is manifested only in overcoming difficulties in achieving goals,
physical and mental strength, and actions that require more or less various obstacles. I have tried
to shed light on this in this article.
