Is The Athletes’ Perfectionism Associated with the Performance of Futsal Teams?
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigated the association between the perfectionism traits of 140 futsal athletes with the performance markers of their teams. The athletes were divided into two groups: medalists (n = 29) and non-medalists (n = 111). The instruments used were The Sport Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale-2 (SMPS-II) and the official game bulletins for collecting performance markers (goals scored, goals conceded, number of wins, number of losses and points added in the competition). Data analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney “U,” Spearman correlation and Path Analysis. The results showed that the non-medal players present more doubts in the action than the medalists (p = 0.008). Perfectionist strivings had a significant and positive association with performance markers (b = 0.17) and negative association with goals conceded (b = -0.23) in medal players, while perfectionist concerns were negatively associated (b > -0.20) with non medalist markers. It was concluded that adaptive perfectionism can be considered an intervening factor in collective performance in futsal, especially in successful teams.
