Abstract
The purpose of this meta-analysis study was to investigate the effectiveness of psychological skills training interventions for archery players in Korea. A total of 17 research papers examining the effects of psychological skills training interventions were selected for data analysis. To analyze the data, the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software program was used. The results of this study were as follows: The overall effect size of psychological skills training interventions for archery players was ES = 0.469 (Hedges’ g), which was a small effect size. The major factors that influenced the effects of psychological skills training interventions for archery players appeared to be the player level and training period. In particular, adult players and longer periods of training had bigger effect sizes. The results of this study demonstrate that psychological skills training for archery players is effective and show that the player level and training period are crucial factors in the psychological skills training design. Based on these findings, some implications for future research are discussed.

Summary
At this very moment, sports players across the globe are constantly striving to improve their skills in order to achieve good results in their selected sports events. It can be difficult to demonstrate having the best skills without having the ability to be aware of and control one’s mental state in unpredictable game situations where the outcome is uncertain. In this sense, the sports field began to recognize psychology as an area of training [2]. Psychological skills training (PST) refers to a technique or strategy for practicing and training psychological skills that are helpful for playing games with a positive attitude, along with the aim of improving performance. Specific examples of PST include image training, relaxation, goal setting, surrounding awareness, and routine setup [4]
