    The psychological variables that a ect competitive performance are called the psychological profile of athletes. In recent years, the interest in female soccer players and the psychological characteristics that a ect their performance has increased. The aim of the present study is to analyze the psychological characteristics of female professional soccer players and female amateur soccer players, as well as to determine the di erences in the psychological profile of both groups. The participants were 134 federated female soccer players, with an average age of 18.28 years (SD = 4.05). To assess the psychological profile, the questionnaire on Psychological Characteristics related to Sports Performance (CPRD) by Gimeno, Buceta, and Pérez-Llantada (2001) was used. The results showed that female professional players presented higher values for motivation, while the female amateur players presented higher values for stress control and the influence of performance evaluation. These results can have a great impact on coaches’ work, since they can help them to establish tasks and training methods consistent with the characteristics of their players.

    The literature presents a variety of methods to improve acceleration speed, such as resisted sled sprint training. The aim of this study was to describe the behavior of time, speed, and speed loss when executing accelerations in 20 meters without load and with a resistance sled with loads equivalent to 8%, 12%, and 15% of body weight. It corresponded to a descriptive cross-sectional study. A repeated measures ANOVA analysis was performed for the four conditions: acceleration race without resistance; with 8% of body weight; 12% of body weight; and 15% of body weight in time in seconds to travel the first 10 meters; the 10 to 20 meter section; and the entire distance from 0 to 20 meters; speed in km/h to travel from 0 to 10 meters; from 10 to 20 meters; and from 0 to 20 meters; speed loss with different loads, contrasted with running without resistance; from 0 to 10 meters; from 10 to 20 meters; and from 0 to 20 meters. The sled training showed limited speed losses with very light resistances of 8%, while light
