Abstract
Relevance. Kurash, a traditional Uzbek form of wrestling, requires the ability to make rapid tactical decisions, maintain emotional stability, and sustain goal-oriented effort during direct physical confrontation. However, the development of volitional qualities is rarely addressed as a distinct, measurable objective in the training of young athletes. Objective. To develop an evidence-based model for the cultivation and assessment of volitional qualities in young Kurash wrestlers. Methods. The study employed a targeted narrative review of research on Kurash, adolescent wrestling, goal-setting, and psychological preparation, alongside an analysis of the specific demands of athletic performance and pedagogical modeling. Results. Four interrelated components were identified: purposeful persistence, decisiveness, emotional self-control, and the flexible capacity to overcome challenges. Based on these, an eight-week, coach-led training model was developed. A structured matrix comprising exercises, observable behavioral indicators, and monitoring procedures is proposed. Conclusion. Integrating brief psychological exercises into technical-tactical training offers a practical approach that warrants experimental validation. The efficacy of this model for Kurash remains to be established through a prospective controlled study; this methodological paper does not claim any experimental outcomes.
