Introduction: Psychology is a science closely related to many sports, whether team sports like football or individual sports. Counseling psychology is an applied branch of psychology that seeks to enhance and develop positive behavior and psychological characteristics in individuals. Psychological mobilization is an important concept that counseling psychology focuses on to enhance it in athletes.
Objective: The study aimed to construct and standardize a scientific scale to measure the level of psychological alertness among futsal goalkeepers in football, and to construct and standardize an objective performance test to evaluate the skill of blocking the ball from diving among futsal goalkeepers, as well as to prepare a structured psychological guidance program that includes guidance units designed to improve both the level of psychological alertness and the skill of blocking the ball by diving among futsal goalkeepers.
Methodology: The researchers used the experimental method to suit the research problem after constructing a scale and testing it in a survey on the community representing the futsal goalkeepers of the teams of the central and northern regions.
Results: The results indicate that the higher the goalkeepers' level of psychological alertness, the better their performance on the dribbling ball-blocking test. The counseling sessions included in the program also had statistically significant results in improving both the psychological alertness scale and the dribbling ball-blocking skill of the experimental group.
Conclusions: The researchers found that the guidance program had a positive and direct impact on the level of psychological alertness among goalkeepers in the experimental group. The program also had an indirect positive impact on the skill of blocking the ball from a dive.
