ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The aim of the study was to investigate the social competence (SC) and emotional intelligence (EI) of future physical education (PE) teachers after targeted psychological training.

Methods:
PE university students completing their bachelor’s (28 third-year students) and master’s degrees (31 first-year students) were recruited and divided into an experimental and control group. The participants completed a questionnaire assessing SC and EI. The experimental group then participated in a series of psychological workshops (four 8-hour sessions) that included Video Interaction Training and interpersonal training. The questionnaire was again administered immediately and 6 months after the workshops were completed.

Results:
The indicators of SC and EI were significantly higher in experimental group in both post-workshop time points. No increases were observed in the control group.

Conclusions:
The results justify the inclusion of interactive psychological courses in the curricula of future PE teachers.
