Summary
Аннотация: Актуальность данного исследования определяется тем, что на данный момент в системе психологической подготовки спортсменов уделяется недостаточно внимания составлению модели личности успешного атлета. В действительности в практической деятельности спортивного психолога систематизация и оптимизация работы имеют большое значение. Цель статьи заключается в попытке выявить главные сложности в психологической подготовке атлетов для последующей оптимизации их психологического сопровождения. Итоги исследования подтверждают многие предыдущие публикации, позволяющие сделать вывод, что основные проблемы в психологической подготовке спортсменов имеют широкую гамму и взаимосвязь с квалификацией атлета. Результаты также согласуются с предположением, что трудности спортивной психологической подготовки обладают определенной спецификой и зависят не только от вида спорта, но и от квалификации атлета. Теоретическая и практическая значимость статьи обусловлена системной направленностью работы и ориентированностью на улучшение практического психологического сопровождения спортсменов. Ключевые слова: личность спортсмена, психологическое сопровождение, систематизация работы спортивного психолога, саморегуляция, воля, стрессоустойчивость
