The samples of subjects tested are aged 12±5 and 19±1. Athletes are components of alpine ski groups within School sports clubs. The experimental group comprises athletes from Gheorgheni, Baia-Sprie, and FEFS and the control group consists of athletes from Topliţa, Sibiu, Predeal, Sinaia. Through this study, we analyzed the influence of mental training on the increase in focused attention and manual response in skiers. It is known that motor coordination and reactivity are very important in alpine skiing, (Chiș & Havatzelet, 2008). If the two components are not developed until they are fully mastered, it is impossible to achieve great results in alpine skiing. We recorded and tested the coordination between segments and the hand coordination within this study. In the experimental group, mental training techniques were applied, but not in the control group. The difference between the results is due to our intervention consisting in applying mental imagery in the most important technical elements within alpine skiing, (Akyürek, Schubö & Hommel, 2013).Keywords: coordination, skiing, mental imagery, manual response.

The purpose of this research is to signal the importance of mental training which consists in developing those aspects of the athlete's psycho-behavioral activity that condition him an effective conduct in training both in terms of full adaptation to stress and stress, and in terms of technical and tactical perfection. In this sense, we start from the premise that psychological monitoring in performance sports in general and in alpine skiing in general through objective investigations and evaluations, determine the achievement of superior results both in the training of athletes and in competition
