Abstract

Stimuli continuously flow to our senses from multiple sources, requiring learners to develop stable attention control, which is essential for successful intelligence—an important factor in prioritizing processes and achieving life success. In volleyball, defending the stadium, particularly against powerful backcourt attacks, demands a high level of concentration and the ability to isolate relevant stimuli, such as focusing solely on the ball. This research highlights the importance of attention control and its significant relationship with successful intelligence and the performance of volleyball defensive skills. The study addresses the issue that some students struggle with attention control and stimulus isolation, affecting their performance compared to peers. Aimed at demonstrating this relationship, the research targeted students from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Girls at the University of Baghdad, within a timeframe from October 2 to November 9, 2019, using a descriptive approach. The research sample consisted of 42 randomly selected first-year female students (50% of the population of 94), from sections A and D. The main experiment, conducted from October 10–15, 2019, involved practical volleyball defense performance assessments held on the college’s volleyball court, with data collected and analyzed using SPSS. The results confirmed a significant relationship between attention control, successful intelligence, and volleyball defensive performance, leading researchers to recommend applying these criteria to similar future studies.
