Abstract

Mental training is important for all athletes because it strengthens their ability to learn, assimilate, endure and teach the athlete how to stay positive and set goals and can be used easily by everyone in every sport, the ability to perform movements mentally within the real time is an important and essential part of the high level of achievement, and from here came The importance of research through the use of mental training in boxing exercises, which will reveal the usefulness of this method in the accuracy of the skillful performance of boxers and achieve their level of progress so that they can achieve better results in the accuracy of the performance of some left-wing, right wing side punch in the boxing game.

The aim of the research is to identify the effect of mental training in learning the side-punch skill and mental perception of students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Science and to identify the differences in the effect of mental training in learning the side-punch skill and mental perception of students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Science.

The researcher assumed in his research that there is an effect of mental training in learning the side-punch skill and mental perception of students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Science and the presence of the effects of mental training in learning the side-punch skill and mental perception of students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Science.
