  • Strategies and Psychological Skills Training Experience in Malaysia National Rugby Team During the Asia Rugby Championship
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 02, 2020 6035 Strategies And Psychological Skills Training Experience In Malaysia National Rugby Team During The Asia Rugby Championship Ahmad Fadzlee Ahmad Idriss ,Thariq Khan Azizuddin Khan, Zulakbal Abd Karim & Ali Md Nadzalan Faculty of Sport Science and Coaching, Sultan Idris Education University Malaysia [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the application, experiences, and perceptions of the psychological skills training (PST) among Malaysian national rugby 15’s players during the Asian Rugby Championship (ARC). In this study the mixed method research design (Exploratory Sequential Mix-Method) using questionnaire (quantitative) and interview (qualitative) methods were employed. Firstly, the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) questionnaire was administered with all 25 players. Using the MANOVA statistical analysis the study findings showed that there were only significant differences in the two aspects of strategy namely automacity and goal setting (p <0.017) out of nine psychological performance strategies during the ARC 2018. In terms of psychological strategy based on player position and experience, there were significant differences only in each aspect of the strategy encompasses goal setting and automacity only (p <0.017). Secondly, semi structured interviews were conducted with 10 key players, the results indicated that 70 percent of players were unable to provide accurate information on the use of psychological strategies during competition. There is some inconsistency comparing both quantitative and qualitative data. The implications of this combined analysis indicate that there is no difference in the use of sports psychology strategies overall or in terms of player position and experience.
