Another aspect of my interest in this research is to emphasize the factors that affect the transition of veterans and what influences a smooth transition into civilian life. This article by F.

As well as mental values such as self-confidence which grows tremendously when sport activity is successful, and self-concept which specified by Aharoni: “I am empowered by the achievements, which enable me to look upon the others as equals”. These statements support my idea of how research and sport activities help veterans to incorporate well-being as well as physical confidence that grows in social acceptance within the same group of people. Hutzler classified six categories that express the impact of sports on disabled people. Those six categories may be divided into two parts of mental and physical resources. Movement skills, self-efficiency, self-confidence, self-control will positively influence personal and social competence. Activity and control capacity as well as social acceptance will allow an individual to cultivate social resources and be comfortable in different social events.
