VEGA MARCOS, R. de la; ROMAN TABANERA, M.; RUIZ BARQUIN, R.  and  HERNANDEZ LOPEZ, J.M.. How perceived the soccer coaches the role of sport psychologist?: a comparative study. CPD [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.27-36. ISSN 1989-5879.

Despite the scientific and public recognition of the role of psychological variables in athletic performance, there is little evidence to show what is the coaches' perception on the role played by sport psychologist in a widespread sport like football. In this paper, we have designed the Cuestionario de Evaluación de las Ideas Previas de los Entrenadores de Fútbol, applying it to two samples of 198 football coaches during the 2003 and 2011 seasons. The comparison of results makes evident certain pattern of stability in the results, although the differences in depth, as well as the importance of overcoming the barriers raised by the coaches.
