The results suggest that organizational differentiation positively affects young players' physical variables, especially players with upper-level skills. Organizational differentiation also positively affects psychological variables of young players with upper-level skills. However, careful consideration should be given to the potential long-term consequences of differentiation for lower-skilled players, especially regarding social belonging and self-perception.

Abstract

The results suggest that organizational differentiation positively affects young players' physical variables, especially players with upper-level skills. Organizational differentiation also positively affects psychological variables of young players with upper-level skills. However, careful consideration should be given to the potential long-term consequences of differentiation for lower-skilled players, especially regarding social belonging and self-perception.
