The Korean Sports Council is launching customized psychological training support for youth players of the Jeonnam Dragons professional soccer team.
On the 3rd, the Korean Sports Council announced that it will operate 'Customized Mental Coaching Education' for the Jeonnam Dragons youth player group at the Korea Sports Talent Development Institute in Jangheung, Jeollanam-do, on the 3rd and 6th.
According to the Korean Sports Council, this education was realized after a prior proposal from the Jeonnam Dragons side by the Korea Sports Talent Development Institute to expand cooperation with local related institutional investors and provide sports-site customized education. It was planned as a customized entrusted education program designed to strengthen self-directed mental management capabilities of youth players through pre-survey of on-site needs at the club.
The education will be operated as a one-day participation and experience-type program, considering age and characteristics of player life. On the 3rd, the first session was attended by 58 middle and elementary school players, and on the upcoming 6th, the second session will involve 34 high school players.
The education curriculum has been detailed into five stages: ▲understanding the relationship between performance and psychological state ▲identifying pressure responses and stress signals ▲practicing techniques for emotion and concentration control ▲designing recovery behaviors after mistakes and failures ▲completing individual mental routines before, during, and after games.
Notably, it is characterized by focusing on practical activities that can be immediately applied in actual game and training settings, moving beyond one-way theoretical lectures to include self-checks, psychological skill practice, small-group discussions, and individual routine design.
Korean Sports Council President Yoo Seung-min stated, "The Korea Sports Talent Development Institute will continue to expand cooperation with local sports organizations, schools, and professional sports clubs in the future," adding, "We will continuously discover customized programs that actively reflect on-site educational needs."
