Abstract
The contradictory influence of parents on the motivation and athletic achievements of young athletes requires the justification of new approaches in working with them. The purpose of the work was to develop and test a program to improve the psychological and pedagogical competence of young football players’ parents and evaluate its effectiveness in terms of psychological training of young football players. The experiment involved young football players at the age of 10 to 11 years, and 34 parents of young athletes. All participants were divided into a control and an experimental group. The study revealed that the work carried out by the coach to educate parents contributes to improving the psychological and pedagogical competence of parents, which was reflected in higher results in assessing their knowledge. It was revealed that in the experimental group, young football players have higher confidence indicators regarding their readiness for competitive activity, they also have higher ratings regarding the positive perception of their capabilities by the coach and parents, that is consistent with lower indicators of personal and competitive anxiety. The data obtained indicates the possibility of improving the psychological training of young football players through improving the competence of their parents.
