Resumen

En contraste con la muy extendida utilización de las charlas pre-partido por parte de los entrenadores, existe poca investigación sobre los efectos que tiene esa estrategia tan comúnmente utilizada. Distintos autores han señalado que las charlas pre-partido contribuyen a incrementar la auto-eficacia de los deportistas. Sin embargo, los resultados obtenidos hasta la fecha no permiten obtener conclusiones. Este estudio examina los efectos de esas charlas en dos estudios cuantitativos. En el Estudio 1 se compararon las creencias de autoeficacia de los deportistas al llegar a las instalaciones e inmediatamente después de recibir la arenga del entrenador en una muestra de 61 jugadores de fútbol (42 hombres y 19 mujeres; rango de edad: 10-16 años) de 6 equipos diferentes. El ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostró diferencias significativas, F(1, 60) = 27.32, p < .001, η2 = .313. Sin embargo, esas diferencias desaparecían cuando se añadió la edad como covariable. F(1, 58) = 0.08, p = .777, η2 = .001. Con el objetivo de controlar el efecto de propio partido, el Estudio 2 analizó la influencia de las charlas pre-partido en ocho partidos siguiendo el mismo procedimiento en una muestra de diez jugadores varones del mismo equipo (M edad= 16.77, DT = 0.60, rango de edad: 16–17). Los resultados mostraron que las diferencias fueron atribuibles al partido F(7, 98.54) = 7.625, p < .001 y no a las charlas. De acuerdo con nuestros resultados, las diferencias encontradas son debidas a la edad y al partido concreto al que se enfrentan los jugadores y parece que las charlas del entrenador no tienen ninguna influencia en la eficacia percibida. Si las charlas pre-parrido tienen alguna influencia en otras facetas, ello debe establecerse en trabajos futuros.
