Tiivistelmä
This Bachelor’s Thesis is a product-based work called Mental Coaching of Ice Hockey Goalies. This work was made because coaches and athletes today have a lack of knowledge in mental coaching. The goal is to create a manual that is easy to read and understand and implement into coaches’ everyday work.
This work helps coaches and athletes understand the mental side of the game; what is important and why. When understanding the basics and most essential parts of sport psychology, it is easier to add mental coaching to support the physical coaching.
The work consists of ten different mental factors that affect performance. Those factors are Self-image, self-esteem, self-confidence, motivation, preparation, concentration, stress, anxiety, pressure and feedback. These factors are selected from my own experiences, discussions with other coaches and goalies and research.
This work has included a game analysis form for mental coaching to follow up the development of the goalies’ mental skills.
The guide is easy to read and understand and gives goalies and coaches abilities to implement mental coaching into their everyday work. The guide is made in a way so that coaches and athletes from other sports can use it as a source of information and develop their knowledge.
