Verifying of the effect of positive thinking and athletic self-direction on athletic satisfaction in beginner tennis sports activities in line with coaching competence

Objectives The purpose of this study was to study and verify the impact of positive thinking and athletes' prayer on athletic satisfaction when a leader's coaching capabilities are received in senior beginner tennis activities. Methods To obtain the results, we surveyed the Magic Tennis Group in the Senior Classroom of the Korea Tennis Association and the elderly in the Ttukseom Tennis Court Club, And frequency analysis, percentage analysis, factor analysis, and reliability analysis (Cronbach's α) were conducted using SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 5.0 statistical programs to analyze the results. Results First, positive thinking resulted in significant results in coaching capabilities. Second, athlete's prayer showed significant results in coaching capabilities. Third, coaching capabilities have significant results in athletic satisfaction. Conclusions According to the results of this paper, positive thinking and athletic prayer at sports sites showed significant results in coaching capabilities and athletic satisfaction, and coaching capabilities were significant in athletic satisfaction. Although this study suggested the influence on athletic satisfaction as well as coaching capabilities of groups who enjoy magic tennis and participants of different types of tennis, the simplicity of the target population of beginner tennis activities has limited the results of various situational studies. It is believed that psychological intervention strategies should be developed to study various types of populations, even intermediate and senior citizens, to help them in their daily sports.
