Despite the fact that "sports psychology" as one of the newest branches of physical education and sports science, is going through its growth and prosperity period and even in many countries of the world, including Iran, it remains unknown and in fact has not been born yet, but according to Its main application in championship sports, which includes reducing athlete anxiety in various ways and improving the performance level of the athlete by increasing mental energy, and its similarity to the historical performance of man as a competitive and warrior creature, it is inferred that this science is historical. It has a long history of human civilization.
Since the formation of the first communities and tribes, a number of powerful men have taken on the task of hunting, providing food, and defending the tribe, and tribal leaders have worked in various ways to reduce the fighters' anxiety and increase their efficiency and courage.
The result of this diligent process is the invention and creation of various methods and ceremonies such as intense dances and body movements, the sound of drums, shouting, body and face painting and strange decorations, prayers, sacrifices and ... It was held in each region and territory according to the environmental conditions in a special way to raise the morale of the warriors and reduce their fears.
The authority or destruction of tribes and nations in heavy and long battles was closely related to the ups and downs of this art.
The conclusion to be drawn from this brief introduction is as follows:
1- Sports psychology is not a new science invented by Western societies with a history of about a century.
2- Sports psychology in any society directly depends on the culture, customs and beliefs of the people, as well as its environmental and climatic conditions.
With the re-establishment of the New Olympics last year, championship and competitive sports flourished again, gradually winning and losing, and the "result-oriented" turned the clean face of the Games into a arena of political competition and a tool for the supremacy of ideologies and governments.

From the beginning of the century and with the spread of championship sports, many scientists who believed in the effect of the mind on the body, developed the basic principles of sports psychology based on various hypotheses and research.
However, the peak of the trend towards this branch of science took place after the Second World War, and especially by the Eastern Bloc countries.
