In addition to the athlete's physical preparation, his psychological preparation is also considered necessary. Since attention is essentially considered a psychophysiological process, from the point of view of the possibility of determining the course of other psychological processes, taking it as the main factor in the preparation process of the athlete determines the essence of the research work. The research work reflects the proposal of effective methods used in the prevention of attention disorders in athletes and examples of their practical application. Circumstances where the athlete's attention may be diverted are defined, and suggestions and methods for solving them are presented in a justified form.
