Level of Emotion Control and Its Impact on The Athletic Achievement of Female Athletes at The University of Imam Abdul Rahman Bin Faisal

Abstract

The current research aims to identify self-management and the level of emotional control among university team players at Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University. To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher used the descriptive survey method by building a measuring tool for self-management and the level of emotional control consisting of (40) items.  The study sample comprise (59) female players from the university teams of Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University, aged (18-22) years, who participate in various team and individual sports. Findings showed statistically significant differences between the individual and team sport in favour of the teams, and a clear variation in the means and standard deviations of the level of self-management and emotional control and its impact on the level of athletic achievement. The researcher suggests holding direct guidance and counselling by the training staff and the psychological specialist for players with problematic behaviour to mitigate these behaviours and reduce their negative impact.
