Sports enjoyment and its relationship to psychological toughness among football players:(A field study of football club players in the State of Touggourt for the Inter-Association Section)

This study aimed to identify the relationship between sports enjoyment and psychological resilience among football players. The researcher employed a descriptive method, which was deemed appropriate for the study topic. Data were collected using the Sports Enjoyment Scale (José Carmelo Adsuar Sala, 2021) and the Psychological Toughness Scale (Mekheimer, 2002). These were applied to a purposive sample of 89 players from three football clubs in Touggourt, selected via a comprehensive survey. The study concluded that football players exhibit high levels of both sports enjoyment and psychological toughness, and that there is a positive correlation between the two.
