摘要:We proposed, described and classified 17 specific characteristics of elite athletes in team sports games which, we presumed, have influence on the functioning and performance of individual players and the whole team. A hypothetical structure of six categories of mostly psychological and social variables was constructed. These are: locus of control, specific competence, motivation, successful reactions in situation of high competitive pressure, coordinated teamwork, and successful solutions of game situations. The model is based upon the arguments derived from the perceived characteristics of athletes. The purpose of this model is to establish the exact scientific and professional approach to: the assessment of the status and the development of specific abilities and characteristics of athletes, the assessment of the potential and the actual quality of players and the selection for a team, the preparation and coaching of athletes and teams, the management of athletes' potential development, as well as to the monitoring and evaluation of psychosocial preparation effects in team sports games.
