The impact of a counselling program on bullying among students at the University of Babylon's Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences

Abstract

The difference between success and failure in many sports activities is due to a combination of factors, one of which is psychological preparation. In addition, athletic skillful performance requires players to react quickly to match conditions, so they must constantly strive to win. Which contain situations and psychological pressures distinguished by the intensity and speed with which they change. This would have an impact on the players' skill and tactical performance, as well as the result of the game. As a result, in addition to physical preparation, the coaches resorted to early planning to reduce bullying among the players. The importance of the research lies in building a counseling program with an impact on reducing bullying in order to motivate female players in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Babylon during sports races.
