The Effect of Using Some Mental Strategies on Directing Tension and the Level of Skill and Numerical Performance of 100-meter Hurdles Athletes

Search objective:
This research aims to identify:
1. The effect of using some of the proposed mental strategies (thinking about the skill duty - positive self-talk) on directing tension and improving some mental skills (the ability to relax - mental visualization - focus attention) for the 100m hurdles athletes.
2. The effect of using some of the suggested mental strategies on the level of skill and numerical performance of 100m hurdles athletes.
Research hypotheses:
1. There are statistically significant differences between the averages of the tribal and remote measurements of the two experimental and control groups in directing tension and improving some mental skills (the ability to relax - mental visualization - focus attention) in favor of the experimental group.
2. There are statistically significant differences between the mean of the tribal and remote measurements of the two experimental and control groups in the level of skill and numerical performance of the 100-meter hurdles players in favor of the experimental group.
Search Procedures:
- Research Methodology:
The researchers used the experimental method on two groups, one experimental and the other controlling, using the method of preand post-measurement, due to its relevance to the nature of the research.
Research community and sample:
The research community included the 14 players of the Assiut University team for the 100-meter hurdles race for the 2020/2021 sports season. (5) players were selected as an experimental group, (5) players as a control group, and (4) players as an exploratory sample
