A total of 160 players aged 14 to 17 years from 16 teams will be allocated individually within team-by-gender strata to either a life skills training group or a usual-training control group. The intervention will include 16 small-group sessions delivered twice per week for 45-60 minutes. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately after the eight-week intervention, and four weeks later. The primary psychological outcome will be cognitive anxiety derived from the Worry and Concentration Disruption subscales of the Sport Anxiety Scale-2. The primary performance outcome will be a baseline-referenced Football Performance Index derived from passing accuracy, shooting accuracy, dribbling time, and agility time. The study hypothesis is that life skills training will reduce cognitive anxiety and improve football performance, and that greater reduction in cognitive anxiety immediately after the intervention will be associated with better football performance at follow-up.",[61,62],"Sport Anxiety","Athletic Performance",[64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72],"adolescent athletes","football; soccer","life skills","cognitive anxiety","sport anxiety","athletic performance","psychological skills","youth sport","China","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-17",{"date":76,"type":77},"2026-08-19","ACTUAL",{"date":79,"type":55},"2026-08-20",{"date":81,"type":55},"2026-12-20",{"name":5,"class":6}]
