The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the feasibility of using modern methods of assessing the psychological state for a comprehensive examination of highly qualified football players.
The results of the study and their discussion. The long-term training of highly qualified football players requires the active integration of scientific approaches to optimize the physical and mental state of the players, which in turn ensures the achievement of high results in training and competitive activities.
The playing activity of highly qualified football players is associated with overcoming various difficulties, due to the optimal psychological state. The issues of psychological examination of highly qualified football players are considered only in individual publications of specialists [1-3], therefore, the study of the possibilities of integrating modern research methods aimed at a comprehensive examination of the psychological state is a priority area of sports science.
Work with the Russian national football team has shown that the most popular and informative methods for assessing the psychological state of highly qualified players should be considered: the anxiety scale (C. D. Spielberger, Y. L. Khanin), which allows you to assess the personal anxiety of football players; the methodology of value orientations by E. B. Fantalova. The main psychometric characteristic of the methodology is the indicator "Value-Accessibility" ("C-D"), which reflects the degree of mismatch, disintegration in the motivational and personal sphere of athletes; the methodology of the study of self-esteem of the individual (p. A. Budassi); as well as self–assessment of football players in professional activity; Oxford happiness questionnaire; burnout questionnaire K. Maslach, MBI, in Russian adaptation - Professional burnout (PV), measurement of the main indicators of professional burnout syndrome (burnout): emotional exhaustion; depersonalization; reduction of professional achievements.
Conclusions. The presented modern methods used in working with football players of the Russian national football team have shown their high reliability and expediency for assessing the psychological state of athletes. The results obtained in the process of a comprehensive examination of the psychological state of highly qualified football players allow a more qualitative approach to the process of planning psychological training, especially during the competition.
