Sports bullying and its relationship to the skill of players’ performance on sports fields

Abstract

The research dealt with the concept of sports bullying, its forms, theories explaining it, its causes, and its treatment. The research reached several results, the most prominent of which is that sports bullying is defined as the exploitation of power and force to engage in aggressive behavior by a player or a group of players towards another player. These practices are characterized by repetition, so what happens once does not happen. It may be considered bullying. Bullying may be direct, i.e. face-to-face, and includes physical actions such as hitting and kicking, or verbal actions that include cursing, insults, and insults, or bullying may be indirect, occurring in a way that other players do not notice, but it causes harm and includes spreading rumors, lies, etc. Bullying can also be divided into four main forms: psychological bullying, verbal bullying, social bullying, and physical bullying.
