Abstract
Time ratio of training provided to young Cambodian football players approximately during one year was investigated. Training was conducted by football coaches dispatched from Japan as a part of the JFA Dream Asia Project. The physical assessment of playersʼ competitive abilities according to the JFA physical scores， and the Diagnostic Inventory of Psychological-Competitive Ability for Athletes （DIPCA-3） were analyzed. Results indicated （1） a larger proportion of time was spent on technical and tactics training compared to five other types of training classified by the Cambodian Academy;（2） a significant improvement was observed as a result of continuous training in 9 out of 14 JFA physical scores; and （3） Cambodian players scored significantly higher on DIPCA-3 than Japanese players in 7 of 12 items. However， the scores in the third measurement period were lower than in the first. Therefore， it is suggested that these results were a temporary effect of efforts by the Cambodian Football Academy. These include active provision of international experiences to players through official games and overseas camps that are designed to a develop winning mentality．
