What is it about?
The purpose of this study was to examine age and gender differences of Greek badminton players on psychological skills. Eighty-five badminton players completed a Greek version of the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 by Smith, Schutz, Smoll, Ptacek (1995), during the 2002 Greek Men’s and Women’s National Badminton Championship Tournament. Analysis revealed differences between age groups on two factors (adversity and coachability) but no statistically significant differences between genders. The results indicated that older athletes are better prepared to cope with the psychological distress involved in the game of badminton, and reported increased emotional self-control. Overall, the results of the study will help badminton athletes and coaches become more familiar with the sport-specific psychological skills that are involved in the sport of badminton, which constitutes a fairly new and unknown sport in Greece.
