The purpose of this study was to verify the hypothesis that there would be a positive change on two groups of athletes after participating in a mental training seminar conducted by a sport psychologist. The two different groups received twelve 90-minute sessions of the same mental training seminar conducted by the same sport psychologist for a period of 4 months. The participants were 114 athletes in Group A and 209 athletes in Group B. A seminar style mental training program included self-analysis, purpose of mental training, goal setting, relaxation, psyching-up, imagery, concentration, positive thinking, self-talk, and psychological preparation for competition. In the evaluation, these two groups were tested with the Diagnostic Inventory of Psychological Competitive Ability for Athletes (DIPCA. 3). This standardized psychological test was used as a pretest at the start of the seminar, and as a posttest four months later at the end of the 12 sessions. A t-test was utilized for statistical analysis of the two groups for positive influences received by the participants from the mental training seminar. Significant differences were found in all 18 items out of 18 items for the two groups. In addition, 97% in Group A and 93% in Group B had positive answers in the survey administered to the participants. These results support the hypothesis that a seminar style mental training program has a positive effect.
