Psychological resilience and its relationship to psychological stress among volleyball players aged (16-18) years

Abstract

The research also aims to identify the two research scales, psychological resilience and psychological stress. To achieve these objectives, the researcher chose the descriptive survey method and selected a sample of (76) players from the Iraqi Junior League for the (2024-2025) season. The sample was divided into a pilot and a main group. The two scales were then applied to the sample, and the results and correlational relationships were extracted. He reached several conclusions and recommendations, including a clear weakness in the psychological resilience of volleyball players, as evidenced by their responses. He also noted the presence of psychological pressures that affect the players' mental, physical, technical, and motor skills. He stressed the need to focus on psychological aspects, specifically increasing resilience and reducing stress. Finally, he recommended activating psychological counseling units and integrating them into training programs.
