Aim: Life skills help young people manage their lives and adapt to different life events. Therefore, young people need to have a wide range of life skills to be successful. This study was conducted to examine the life skills of individuals participating in football training in football teams in terms of various variables.
Material and Method: For this purpose, “Life Skills Scale for Sport (LSSS)” was used. The scanning method was used in the research. The research population consists of 616 athletes (aged 13-18) who play licensed football in the infrastructure of professional and amateur football teams in Istanbul in the 2022-2023 football season. The data obtained in the study was analyzed with the SPSS 25 package program. Before statistical analysis, kurtosis and skewness coefficients were examined to determine whether the distribution of the data was normal. Levene test was also performed for homogeneity of variances. In pairwise comparisons of independent variables of parametric data, t-test (independent sample), and comparisons of more than two groups were tested with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Tukey test was used as a post-hoc test to determine the source of the difference between groups. The statistical significance level of the results was accepted as p<0.05.
Results: Significant differences were determined in many sub-dimensions such as time management, communication, goal setting, team work, social skills and emotional skills, and findings were obtained that it improved life skills.
Conclussions: As a result, preschool and school-age life skills acquired at an early age provide preparation for later adulthood. Improving life skills by devoting more time to sports activities so that individuals can meet their physical and mental needs during their youth can help them cope with the situations they encounter both physically and psychologically.

Amaç: Yaşam becerileri, gençlerin yaşamlarını yönetmelerine ve farklı yaşam olaylarına uyum sağlamalarına yardımcı olur. Bu nedenle, gençlerin başarılı olabilmeleri için çok çeşitli yaşam becerilerine sahip olmaları gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, futbol takımlarında futbol antrenmanlarına katılan bireylerin yaşam becerilerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Bu amaçla “Sporun Yaşam Becerilerine Etkisi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada tarama yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini 2022-2023 futbol sezonunda İstanbul ilindeki profesyonel ve amatör futbol takımların alt yapılarında lisanslı olarak futbol oynayan (13-18 yaş arası) 616 sporcu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler SPSS 25 paket programıyla analiz edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analiz öncesinde verilerin dağılımının normal olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla basıklık ve çarpıklık katsayıları incelenmiştir. Varyansların homojenliği için Levene testi de yapılmıştır. Parametrik verilerin bağımsız değişkenlerinin ikili karşılaştırılmasında t testi (bağımsız örneklem) ve ikiden fazla grubun karşılaştırılması tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ile test edilmiştir. Gruplar arasındaki farkın kaynağını belirlemek amacıyla post-hoc test olarak Tukey testi kullanıldı. Sonuçların istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Zaman yönetimi, iletişim, amaç belirleme, takım çalışması, sosyal beceriler ve duygusal beceriler gibi birçok alt boyutta anlamlı farklılık belirlenmiştir ve yaşam becerisini geliştirdiğine dair bulgular elde edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, erken yaşlarda edinilen okul öncesi ve okul çağındaki yaşam becerileri, ilerleyen yetişkinlik dönemleri için bir hazırlık sağlar. Gençlik döneminde bireylerin fiziksel ve zihinsel ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmeleri için spor faaliyetlerine daha fazla zaman ayırarak yaşam becerilerini geliştirmek hem bedensel hem de psikolojik açıdan karşılaştıkları durumlarla başa çıkmalarına yardımcı olabilir.
