The current research aims to construct a measure of psychological excellence for advanced handball players applying to the Iraqi Premier League clubs in Iraq. The study seeks to understand the psychological excellence among advanced handball players participating in the Premier League of handball in Iraq, and due to the lack of a tool to measure psychological excellence for handball players. The researcher decided to address this problem and find solutions to it by constructing a tool to measure psychological excellence. The researcher used the descriptive method in the survey style, as it is most suitable for solving the current research problem, the researcher has successfully constructed the Psychological Excellence Scale for handball players, based on the theoretical aspect of psychological excellence and the derivation of dimensions from it. The scale was developed using a sample of 240 players, which represents a percentage of 80.81% of the total population of the research. The scale was applied to the players, and the scientific principles were extracted from the statistical analysis of the items such as content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and factor analysis validity. The reliability was verified by two methods, the split-half method, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. After conducting the statistical operations represented by factor analysis, the researcher extracted five factors: (creativity, skill excellence, field intelligence, self-confidence, and perseverance), as these factors were based on 34 items distributed across the five factors. The current scale serves as a tool for revealing the psychological excellence of advanced handball players in Iraq. The researcher recommends using the scale that he has prepared and constructed for measuring the psychological excellence of advanced handball players
