The study aimed to develop specialized scales for assessing unconscious conflicts and free will among coaches of selected athletic disciplines and to identify their levels in each coach. Additionally, it sought to design a psychological counselling program to enhance unconscious conflict and free will levels for coaches experiencing lower levels in these areas. The study further examined the impact of the counselling program on unconscious conflicts and free will among these coaches. The researcher hypothesized that there would be statistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test results in measuring unconscious conflicts and free will within the study sample. The study employed an experimental method with a single-group design, selecting a sample of 11 coaches from athletic clubs for the 2023/2024 sports season. This sample was chosen deliberately using a procedural approach, representing 7.7692% of the research population. Additionally, a pilot sample of 6 coaches, accounting for 4.196% of the population, was randomly selected. The remaining 126 coaches, representing 88.112% of the population, were included as the statistical analysis sample for developing the scales. After completing the development of the two scales through methodological procedures and statistical analyses, a total of 12 sessions were organized, implemented at a rate of two sessions per week. This allowed the psychological counselling program to run for six weeks, from 7/1/2024 to 15/2/2024. Upon completion, the results were analyzed using the SPSS software. The findings confirmed that the scales for unconscious conflicts and free will among athletic coaches were both suitable for their intended purpose, based on sound psychometric principles and measurement standards in sports psychology, and were well-suited to the specific needs of the coaches. Additionally, the psychological counselling program was shown to effectively enhance the desired levels of unconscious conflicts and rational free will, aligning with the professional requirements of athletic coaches. It is essential to address and manage the atypical psychological conditions of athletic coaches through targeted counselling, as these psychological challenges can have negative impacts on the athletes they coach. Furthermore, the development of psychological counselling programs aimed at enhancing the desired levels of unconscious conflicts and rational free will among coaches should be grounded in psychometric measurements of these two aspects. Incorporating sports psychology concepts into counselling sessions can yield positive outcomes for the coaches' psychological and emotional well-being. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
