The PST program consisted of team building, goal setting, relaxation, imagery, self-talk, pep-talk, converting thoughts, autogenic training, and progressive relaxation techniques. For the quantitative part of the study Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), the Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory (TSCI), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were given during the pre-intervention, post-intervention, first, second and third follow-up tests.

A mixed design MANOVA revealed significant differences over time for team cohesion (F [16, 19] = 3.25, p < .05). A mixed design ANOVA revealed significant differences over time for self-confidence (F [4, 31] = 12.05, p < .05) but there was no significant differences for anxiety (F [4, 31] = .58, p > .05).
