SELF-PROTECTION Sport: An Analysis of the Connection between the Experience of Winning a Competition and the Experience of Being Selected as a Representative Player of Middle and High School and College Judo Players

Purpose: This study analyzed 198 middle and high school and college judo players in Daegu and Gyeongbuk Province as of 2020 for the connection between their experience of winning a competition and being selected as a representative player. Method: Using the SPSS 23.0 program, this study conducted a frequency analysis to identify the general char-acteristics of the study subjects and calculated Cronbach s α coefficient to verify the reliability of the question-naire. Chi-Square was conducted to find out the connection between the experience of winning a competition and being selected as a representative player. Results: The study found that men had more experience of being selected as a representative player than women and that they had more experience of winning a competition as the school year advanced. In addition, as the school year advances, the experience of being selected as a representative player increases, and the longer the player s career, the more the experience of winning a competition. The longer the player s career, the more the experience of being selected as a representative player, and the more the experience of being selected as a representative player if one has the experience of winning a competition. Conclusion: The results confirmed through this study believed to be fully utilized as basic data for training plans and management for judo players to improve their performance, but due to the limited number of study subjects, differences in the level of participating players, region, gender, and career, it is considered to be some-what difficult to generalize the results of this study.
