Sažetak

Psychological preparation in sports encompasses observing, registering, following-up, and intervening in the areas of motivation, concentration, self-confidence enhancement, the teaching-learning process, group cohesion, communication and others. Adequate psychological preparation is a segment of the general preparatory process (conditioning), that enables the physical capacities (physical conditioning), the technical and tactical skills and the knowledge of an athlete to be manifested maximally under the strenuous conditions of a competition. A complete psychological preparation programme was incorporated into the general, comprehensive preparation programme of the Croatian cadet volleyball national team for the World Championship. This professional paper deals with the first phase of the psychological preparation programme the analysis of the psychosocial structure of the team. The following procedures were employed: sociometric techniques, individual interviews, group work, and observation of the group dynamics as manifested at training sessions. On the basis of the data obtained some broad guidelines were established how to induce positive changes in the team. The guidelines were the basis for the psychological preparation programme design, which was implemented later as a part of the general preparation programme. The World Championship achievement of the team was evaluated as a success.
