Aims: building a self-confidence scale in the football academies players and cognizing the effect of the positive support program in developing the self-confidence of the research sample. Identify the differences between the control and experimental groups' pre-and post-tests of self-confidence traits. Method: the researchers used the experimental designs of two groups, pre-test, and oost-test. The research population included players from football academies in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq for the year (2020-2021) from the male football academies in Koye, Zakho, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Soran, Taqtaq cities. The random method was applied to select the sample, and the sample of the study number was 250; experimental group 125 and control group 125 were divided randomly; the average age was 14-16 years and constitute the 90% of the whole community; the researchers built a self-confidence scale on 2 weekly units with 12 units for two months. Results: the (T) value of the control group is (5.007) less than the degree of probability (0.001), indicating that there are statistically significant variations between the two tests, pre, and post, with regards to the trait of self-confidence for the control group. The (T) value of the two groups was (2.05) less than the degree of probability (0.04), indicating that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups post-tests on the trait of self-confidence in favor of the experimental group due to the mean being more effective. Conclusions: according to the findings, the psychological program has a favorable influence on self-confidence in football school players.
