Centering the Body: Leveraging Self-Efficacy and Technology for Sport Performance Enhancement

Sport performance is influenced by a complex interplay of multidisciplinary factors. Methodological strategies play a keyrole in shaping athletic performance. Physiological adaptations are interconnected with training methodologies, both as causes and consequences of morphological changes. On the other hand,cognitive and psychological are occasionally overlooked. Yet, they are pivotal in determining an athlete's achievements and should be consistently integrated into training regimens. Bandura's self-efficacy (SE) theory has garnered recent attention, emphasizing its impact on athletic performanceand coaches should integrate it into training setting. Moreover, the strategic use of technological tools like sensors offers invaluable insights, aiding both players and coaches in obtaining critical data for optimizing performance. However, while these tools often adopt a quantitative ap-proach, thereis a need for more sophisticated methods encompassing qualitative assessments of movements and sports performances. Addressing this challenge demands swift data analysis for in-terpreting athlete SE, evaluating performance objectively, and providing timely responses. A proposed methodological approach involves an algorithm capable of real-time analysis, amalgamating data from technological tools and athlete SE information. This algorithm aims to offer prompt, comprehensive feedback to improve SE and consequently enhance athletic performance
