Pengaruh Program Latihan Sepak Bola Berbasis Mental Skills Training Terhadap Positive Mental Health Atlet SSB Roksi FC

Abstract

Abstract: Mental approach during the training process is estimated to have a contribution to the mental health condition of athletes. This research was conducted at SSB Roksi FC with the training location at the Nurtanio Football Field and Lodaya Football Field with a sample of 22 athletes aged 14 to 16 years. The research design used was Quasi Experimental Pretest Posttest Control Group Design. The results of the comparative study based on the Mann Whitney U Test proved that there was no statistically significant disparity in the median value in the pretest score of the control group, which was 73.51, and the experimental group which was at 66.49 with a U value = 39,000, Z = min1.417, p = 0.156. Second, after the implementation of the soccer training program for four weeks with a frequency of 16 meetings, the experimental group that received a soccer training program based on a mental approach showed a very significant spike in mental health conditions, where the average score (mean) of this group shot up sharply from 66.49 at the time of the pretest to 79.22 at the time of the posttest, with a net growth rate (mean gain) reaching 12.73 points. The effectiveness test using a gain score comparison proved a statistically significant difference in the rate of improvement compared to the control group with a value of U = 29.500, Z = min2.039, p = 0.041 and an effect size value of r = 0.43 which is included in the medium category. This study implies that the integration of mental training (mental skills) into the youth soccer physical curriculum is crucial to maintain the stability of the emotional well being of athletes and minimize the risk of mental stress from competition on an ongoing basis.

Abstrak : Pendekatan mental selama proses latihan diperkirakan memiliki kontribusi terhadap kondisi kesehatan mental atlet. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SSB Roksi FC dengan lokasi pelaksanaan latihan di Lapangan Sepak Bola Nurtanio dan Lapangan Sepak Bola Lodaya dengan jumlah sampel 22 orang atlet berusia 14 sampai 16 tahun.Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah Quasi Experimental Pretest Posttest Control Group Design. Hasil dari penelitian komparasi berbasis Mann Whitney U Test yang membuktikan tidak adanya disparitas nilai tengah (median) yang berarti secara statistik pada perolehan skor pretest kelompok kontrol, yakni 73,51, dan kelompok eksperimen yang berada di angka 66,49 dengan nilai U = 39,000, Z = -1,417, p = 0,156 .Kedua, setelah pelaksanaan program latihan sepak bola selama empat minggu dengan frekuensi 16 kali pertemuan, kelompok eksperimen yang mendapatkan program latihan sepak bola berbasis pendekatan mental menunjukkan lonjakan kondisi kesehatan mental yang sangat signifikan, di mana skor rata-rata (mean) kelompok ini melesat tajam dari 66,49 pada saat pretest menjadi 79,22 pada saat posttest, dengan laju pertumbuhan bersih (mean gain) mencapai 12,73 poin. Uji efektivitas menggunakan perbandingan gain score membuktikan adanya perbedaan laju peningkatan yang signifikan secara statistik dibandingkan kelompok control dengan nilai U = 29,500, Z = min2,039,p = 0,041 serta nilai ukuran efek (effect size )sebesar r = 0,43 yang masuk dalam kategori sedang .Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan bahwa integrasi latihan mental (mental skills) ke dalam kurikulum fisik sepak bola usia muda sangat krusial untuk menjaga stabilitas kesejahteraan emosional atlet serta meminimalkan risiko tekanan mental kompetisi secara berkelanjutan.
