Аннотация

Modern boxing imposes high demands not only on athletes’ physical, technical, and tactical preparedness but also on the development of their personal and psychological characteristics. Within the system of sports training for young boxers, volitional qualities acquire particular importance, as they determine an athlete’s ability to overcome physical and emotional stress, maintain motivation, exercise self-control, and sustain stability under training and competitive conditions. The purpose of the study was to analyze the role of volitional qualities of young boxers within the structure of factors ensuring the effectiveness of the training process. The study employed methods of scientific and methodological literature analysis, pedagogical observation, comparative analysis, generalization of advanced coaching experience, and psychological-pedagogical interpretation of sports training data.

The findings demonstrated that a high level of development of volitional qualities contributes to increased athlete discipline, improved resistance to training loads, enhanced ability to mobilize the body’s functional reserves, and improved quality of technical performance. The most significant volitional qualities for young boxers were identified as perseverance, decisiveness, self-control, goal orientation, and emotional stability. It was established that purposefully designed pedagogical interventions integrated into the training process contribute to a more effective development of athletes’ volitional sphere and enhance the overall effectiveness of sports preparation.
