Emotional Aspects and Dribbling Motor Skills in Football Players

ABSTRACT
This research is a descriptive survey that aims to determine the contribution of emotional aspects on functional motor
skills among football players in Sports science faculty Universitas Negeri Makassar. The study was conducted involving 40 samples in Universitas Negeri Makassar. Emotional aspects in football players were measured by using a questionnaire consisting of five assessed domains. The five domains are self-recognizing of emotional feelings, personal emotional feeling management, self-motivation, recognizing the emotional feeling of others, and building relationships. Several indicators measured each domain. Football skills were assessed using a dribbling test measuring the ability of students to dribble the ball as quickly as possible through all predetermined obstacles. The result was grouped into five skill level categories. Statistical data analysis was performed using a correlation test of Pearson. The results showed a significant relationship (p-value <0.05) between emotional aspects and functional motor skills. The elements of emotional aspects in recognizing the emotions of others and building relationships contributed more than the other three
aspects. The results showed a significant relationship between emotional aspects and dribbling skills, where recognizing the emotions of others and fostering relationships had a more significant influence than other aspects.
