Building and Standardizing the Location of Perceived Control of Young Footballers

Abstract

The research aims to build and legalize the site of perceived control of young football players. The areas of
research included the human field that represents football players’ clubs in Misan Youth Governorate, and
defining the time zone for a period of (1/12/2020) until (10/5/2021), while the spatial domain was in the halls
of the studied clubs.
The researchers used God C in a descriptive survey method, and the community research is (239) players
from Misan Governorate youth football clubs, and the (SPSS) system was used to obtain the results of the
research, the researchers concluded the following:
1- A tool was developed for measuring the position of perceived control in its three dimensions for young
soccer players.
2- The perceptual control site scale that the researcher built and codified through the applied scientific
procedures demonstrated the ability of this scale to recognize the individual differences between the players
in the perceptual control site scale and its three dimensions.
3- Young players in Misan governorate have an average level in the perceptual control position variable.
The researchers recommended the following:
ü Adopting the scale as a tool to measure the psychological variable (location of perceived control in its
three dimensions) for young footballers.
ü The perceptual control position measure can be used by coaches and the need to use it on players
periodically during the sports season, which allows identifying this important psychological variable in
competition as well as identifying the positive things that support it and the negatives to overcome and
develop them with the players.
ü Conducting other similar studies according to the variables (gender, age, different sporting events).
