Generally some kind of behavior is assessed with the help of some questionnaire e.g.- task,ego ,motivation level, anxiety level, aggression etc.Is there any other scientific way of making psychological assessment of player that may contribute in his/ her top performance ?
Jaiprakash,
Performance is state dependent so dispositional measures are typically appropriate for cost-effective and rapid profile development. If you are looking for something outside of self-report measures, and have the ability to examine longitudinally - some biomarker tracking (e.g. micronutrients, nutrition and metabolic health, hydrations status, and endurance performance) is relatively inexpensive but does help researchers understand how athlete's performance can be impacted and allow for subtle changes to enhance performance. The tie in to your question is that these are physiological measures that can be used to better inform your current psychological approaches (e.g. improving or tweaking diet, encouraging appropriate training etc...).
For making psychological profile of an athlete some of these parameters can be recorded : stress tolerance test, focussed attention, determination test, reaction time, memory test, sensomotor coordination etc.. these can be measured through Vienna Testing System ( VTS)- a psychological assessment tool.
