Athletics is various disciplines have evolved under a conventional structure in which the coach athlete partnership takes full responsibility for preparing training and Competitions, avoiding the presence of any other professionals. Nowadays, elite athletes are usually accompanied by mangers, masseurs, physiotherapists, doctors and, in some cases psychologists. Traditionally coaches and athletes have focused their efforts on physical training. Over time, however, the technical, tactical and psychological aspects the technical, tactical and psychological aspects have gained more important role. Despite psychology being perceived as one of the key factors to peak performance and wellbeing in sport, few systematically train this aspect

However as this intent on gaining victory lacks a broad base and replenish capable athletes in more diverse athletics sub-disciplines; organizing youth athletic sports training projects in selected talented areas of the country remains the only alternative. For the same reason, after conducting talent identification program, the National Athletics Federation, had announced that the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region State (SNNPR), was the hub of short distance and field event athletic sports, in which the county has not been successful. Following this, the SNNPR State Youth and Sports Bureau have been running athletics sports training since 2011 for selected talented athletes of age 15-17, in close consideration of athletic sports sub disciplines that the county has not been successful

Athletes may experience psychological disorders, such as stress, worry, anxiety as well as motivation and concentration disorders during in season training intended for gaining technical skills and condition. Anxiety experienced during competition is one of the emotional states that negatively affect the performance of athletes. Anxiety causes athletes to suffer from muscle tension, difficulty in making decisions, confusion, low efficiency in training, inability to focus, lack of self-confidence, low concentration etc. During periods close to competition, athletes in sprint branch of athleticism have to apply various strict diets in addition to intensive training programs

Typically defined as “an unpleasant psychological state in reaction to perceived stress concerning the performance of a task under pressure”, anxiety is a common emotional state experienced by athletes at all levels of performance. In general, anxiety is made up of cognitive (e.g., worrying thoughts and apprehensions) and somatic (e.g., degree of physical activation) components. Anxiety can manifest itself as a stable part of one’s personality known as trait anxiety, or as a temporary, more malleable, situation specific state anxiety. In athletic context, anxiety is often regarded as a typical response to a situation where an athlete’s skills are being evaluated. Anxiety is often characterized by a range of physiological (e.g., sweating, increased heart rate), behavioral (e.g., biting fingernails, fidgeting), and cognitive (e.g., negative thoughts, inattention) signs and symptoms

Individual differences at the psychological level make each athlete unique. They are useful for explaining and predicting behavior and performance. Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of individual differences in athletic activity would help to consider each athlete with athletes’ own particularities, to understand athletes better, in order to help an athlete to reach a higher performance. Personality-trait-like individual differences are of main importance in athletic activity, and how they might affect performance. Mental toughness, perfectionism, emotional intelligence and hardiness are such individual differences linked to personality, which were found in recent scientific studies to predict athletes’ performance

Athletic performance linked to personality is that of coping behavior and strategies. This relates to the ability or techniques used by an athlete to deal with psychological stressors such as anxiety. Athletes have to learn to live up to our expectations. Athletes are required to be cooperative and competitive to accept victory and defeat in athletic manner, to demonstrate sense of fair play and to be socially outgoing. Personality itself can influence many aspects of athletic performance and behavior, some of which may well be out of the athlete’s cognitive control. Personality is important to understand personality if dealing with athletes to promote the best coping strategies and goals to assist in improving their performance

Stated that, each athlete brings to the specific sport completion a set of physiological and psychological strategies. A performance strategy includes that attributes that the Athlete brings to the competition, (e.g. body mass, height, muscle fiber type, and anxiety levels). Genetic inheritance, along with training, contributes to the status of the available strategies. How the Athletes uses them or integrates them in a performance dictates the degree of success. The determinants of success in each sport have changed as rules have changed in many sports, however, success can build on several attributes once the sports skills are solid in athletics. Most sports have complex demand; One Athlete may succeed using one set of strategies while another succeeds in the same sport using a different set. Sports today are a function of genetic in heritance, accomplished sport skills, psychological skills, and physical conditioning

2.3. Data Collection Procedure
In order to collect data necessary for analysis, the researcher was used questionnaire, structured observation and in-depth interviews were implemented to maintain the validity of the study and to gather information from different sources. The use of different instrument will help to see the situation in detail. The detail of each data collection method is discussed as followed.
2.3.1. Questionnaire
Standardized and structured questionnaire of Personality was assessed by using revised NEO personality inventory (NEO-PI-R),
[13]
Ronald E. Smith, Frank L. Smoll, Sean P. Cumming, and Joel R. Grossbard (2006) Measurement of Multidimensional Sport Performance Anxiety in Children and Adults: The Sport Anxiety Scale-2 Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 2006, 28, 479-50.
[13]
and the Sport Anxiety Scale-2
[11]
Michael J, Daniel O (2010) Five factor model personality inventory:
measures cognitive and physical symptoms of anxiety associated with athletic performance. However, the SAS-2 has shown good validity and reliability for both adults and youths
[8]
Grossbard J, Smith R, Smoll F, etal (2009). Competitive anxiety in young athletes: Differentiating somatic anxiety, worry, and concentration distribution, Anxiety, stress, and coping 153-66,
Observation and interview that cover the objective of the study were developed and administered to the respondents. Collection of data through questionnaires is quite popular, particularly in case of big enquiries. It is being adopted by private individuals, research workers, private and public organizations and even by governments. A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a definite order on a form or set of forms. The respondents have to answer the questions on their own. The reliability coefficients of personality inventory were found 0.737. It is found to be in the range of 0.706 - 0.809 which shows high reliability. For reliability of data scales for trait anxiety, cognitive state anxiety, somatic state anxiety, and state (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89, 0.81, and 0.81 respectively).
2.3.2. Interview
Structured interview was conducted for sport experts respondent or participants of the study to cover objectives of study. The interview is in a sense an oral questionnaire. Instead of writing the response, the subject or interviewee gives the needed information orally and face-to-face (or via the telephone). Advantage of interviewing is that the interviewer can explain more explicitly the investigation's purpose and just what information the researcher wants.
2.3.3. Observation
This data collection instrument was used to observe trainees’ personality, anxiety and psychological conditions of athletes and the ability to overcoming obstacles, and the role of coaches’ in helping trainees’ psychological problems, and the general capability of the coaches during training sessions. In case the observation is characterized by a careful definition of the units to be observed, the style of recording the observed information, standardized conditions of observation and the selection of pertinent data of observation, then the observation is called as structured observation. Structured observation is considered appropriate in descriptive studies, whereas in an exploratory study the observational procedure is most likely to be relatively unstructured.
2.4. Method of Data Analysis and Data Presentation
The collected data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The analysis of the data was based on the responses that were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis. The qualitative data collected from different sources were summarized, categorized and coded to suit for analysis. The data collected from athletes and coaches, through questionnaire (the quantitative one) was processed and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 likes tools percentage, mean, standard deviation, and from inferential statics the researcher was used step wise multiple regression coefficient used to analyze the data.
3. Conclusions
This study has revealed that as the analysis of the collected data revealed the trainees are moderately affected in some anxiety and personality factors. Meanwhile, the coaches’ role to avoid such anxiety factor in project is not as expected, this show the psychological skill gape of steak holders. The study has shown in some extent that there are no psychological treatment strategies on their short and long term plans. Trainers who are developed well in psychological skill, those that were alleviate their performance level in relation their own long term plan and goals.
In general, in some extent of lack of sport psychology knowledge and absence of specific planned documents in related to psychological problems that are helpful to undertake the project resulted in psychological problems up on trainees specially the situation negatively affect the performance of trainees towards taking training properly.
As the data indicated the trainers are working together to achieve common goals. Therefore, they can perform training together and they were used psychological skill training before, after and during training. This unity also helps them to improve their performance and psychological skill. The training groups value membership and have close relationship with each other. Hence, they can share experience with peers easily. Then everybody can improve the skill of psychology.
