Overall, players’ scores high all dimensions: ability (8.77±1.15); effort (9.20±1.03); persistence (8.87±1.18); preparation (8.96±1.08); unity (8.88±1.22). variability estimates very large, suggesting on residual. There no substantial relation scores, although results suggest independent in Further examining relations growth, functional development, would relevant holistic understanding development.
