The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if different music interventions (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) can enhance mental and physical performance in young basketball players aged 12-19 in Shandong Province, China. The primary questions it aims to answer are: Does motivational music lead to higher levels of mental energy, mental toughness, mindful attention awareness, psychological skills, and athletic identity compared to no music? Does self-selected music lead to higher levels of these variables compared to no music? Researchers will compare three groups (motivational music, self-selected music, and no music) to determine if these interventions significantly affect mental energy, mental toughness, psychological skills, mindfulness, athletic identity, and sports performance. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: motivational music, self-selected music, or no music (control). Listen to their assigned type of music for 30 minutes before basketball training and performance tests, three times a week for 12 weeks. Complete questionnaires and performance tests at the start and end of the study to measure changes in their mental and physical performance.
