- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate how, in the coaches' view, children and young people prepare for tennis competitions, seeking to answer the 3 guiding categories idealized by Marques (2004), referring to the Theory of Competitions, as a Model of Education for Children and Youth: competition models for young tennis players; the context of the win-lose relationship; and attendance at young tennis players' competitions. METHODS: Eleven coaches participated in the study, from 6 clubs, and 3 gyms from 4 Brazilian states were interviewed. The study presents a qualitative analysis, with descriptive exploratory research, from the data obtained from the interviews, carried out with a semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis took place from the 3 categories of Marques (2004). RESULTS: Content analysis shows that competitions for young tennis players are better structured, especially in the early stages. With regard to the context of victories and defeats, the reports indicate that the current conditions do not meet the fundamentals advocated by Marques (2004), and there is still a lot to evolve in this area, mainly in the sense of developing, with children and young people, the "knowing how to lose and knowing how to win". Regarding the higher or lower frequency of competitions, there was a development, but not enough to meet the author's ideas, as many young people are vetoed from competing for their coaches; or, on the other hand, athletes compete in large quantities, but without considering the number of defeats. CONCLUSION: According to the interviewed coaches, there are signs of evolution of various aspects of the preparation of young tennis players for competitions, but much of what happens in practice is in opposition to the theoretical proposals presented here, which indicates the need for intervention for alignment. between the practices recommended by the literature and the effective conduct of the coaches.
