The research problem was centered in the fact that despite all the efforts made by the training staff to
assist the players in raising their technical level, the researchers with their personal experience because they
worked in the field of arbitration and arbitrated many of the matches that took place for the players of the
specialized school in the province of Babel note that there are some players They do not carry a positive
attitude towards competition and this is enough to affect the level of their performance, and therefore they
are born with weakness in perseverance and dedication to sports competition, and this leads to a low level of
performance due to the lack of a positive orientation of the players towards competition, which is reflected on

of the competitive orientation of the players and building an indicative program with special exercises to
raise the level of their competitive orientation in football. The researchers used the realistic treatment method
as one of the psychological methods to improve these variables because it deals with them realistically, and

the specialized school in the province of Babylon, football, to identify the effectiveness of the pilot program
with special exercises in the orientation towards competition among the players in the province of Babylon
football, the researchers used the experimental method in the complex method And the two controlling and
experimental equivalents with pre and post-test for their suitability to the nature of the research problem on
the players of specialized schools in the middle Euphrates football who are under (17) years old and whose
total number is (175) players, The researchers concluded that there is an effect of the pilot program with its
exercises In flat lift The competitive orientation of football with the experimental group, and real differences
emerged in the level of competition orientation between the control and experimental research groups and
in favor of the experimental group, and the use of realistic guidance commensurate with raising the level of
