Abstract

Background and aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a resilience enhancement program for female football athletes at Burapha University, utilizing the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework. The program was designed to promote psychological resilience, self-awareness, acceptance of thoughts and emotions, and stress management skills.

Methodology: A quasi-experimental research design (One Group Pretest-Posttest Design) was employed. The sample consisted of 16 female football athletes selected based on specific criteria. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28), adapted for the sports team context, was used to assess resilience levels before and after the intervention. The program included seven activities based on ACT principles, such as Defusion, Body Awareness, Acceptance, and Mindfulness.

Results: The findings indicated a significant increase in the athletes’ resilience levels after participation in the program, suggesting that the ACT-based intervention effectively enhanced psychological resilience and stress adaptability.

Conclusion: The ACT-based resilience enhancement program demonstrated effectiveness in strengthening athletes' ability to cope with stress and competitive pressure. These results support the use of ACT as a valuable approach in athletic psychological training and have implications for broader applications in enhancing resilience in various sports contexts.
