الملخص

This research aims to investigate the relationship between psychological barriers and the concentration level of serve accuracy in tennis given the pivotal role of psychological factors in individual sports The descriptive survey method was adopted where the participants included 10 National Team players selected via total enumeration of the available elite population in addition to 2 players for the pilot study Data were collected using the Psychological Barriers Scale and the Serve Accuracy Test The results revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between psychological barriers and serve accuracy indicating that higher levels of psychological barriers are associated with decreased concentration and skill accuracy The study concludes that psychological stability is a prerequisite for precise skill execution and recommends integrating pre-performance psychological routines into training programs to mitigate performance anxiety rather than relying solely on physical training.
