The study of the relationship between the components of personal maturity and perfectionist attitudes in sports

Modern sport involves continuous improvement of skills and striving for a significant level of achievement in strictly regulated conditions of fierce competition, as it is associated with high results. Sports activities require participants to have exceptional technical skills during competitions, as well as developed willpower during the training process. All this leads to the fact that athletes are forced to spend a huge amount of physical and psychological resources. The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the components of personal maturity and perfectionist attitudes in sports. The study was conducted on the basis of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Kuban State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism", 60 athletes involved in team sports participated in it. The age range ranged from 18 to 20 years old. Conclusions. As a result of empirical research, it was revealed that during the competitive period perfectionism positively correlates with systemic reflection, quasi-reflection, introspection, perception of the inner world and conflicts, internal dialogues can enhance perfectionist aspirations and create destructive emotional patterns. During training, analyzing one's own condition does not enhance perfectionist tendencies, unlike conducting this analysis during the competitive period. The only common characteristic for training and competition is a negative connection with the "Process of Life".
