Optimizing Football Performance through the Integration of Tactical Skills Training of Student-Athletes in Beijing, China

Abstract

The study utilized a quantitative comparative-correlational research design to examine the relationship between tactical skills training and football player performance. The study focused on students with professional expertise and experience to assess the impact of tactical skills training on football players' performance. The study used a census sampling approach due to the limited availability of instructors and mentors at the selected university. This method ensured diverse viewpoints and mitigated sampling errors by enumerating the entire population. The researcher took 50 sample respondents. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire that measured the assessment and performance level of football players' tactical skills training. The study found a slight inverse relationship between tactical skills training assessments and actual football player performance, with a mean score of 3.098, suggesting that high training scores do not necessarily lead to superior performance, but other factors also play a crucial role.
