The current study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of neurofeedback-based training within the aggression and emotional dysregulation of soccer players. The research method was a quasi-experimental type and a pre-test-post-test research design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was the football players of Astaneh Ashrafieh city in 1400, from this statistical population, 24 adolescent boys were chosen and after matching based on age and education level, they were randomly separated into 2groups of 12individuals of the experimental group and control group supplanted. then Maxwell and Morris2007 competitive aggression questionnaire(2007) and Gertz and Roemer's(2004) difficulty in emotion regulation questionnaire are administered as pre-test and post-test for both groups. The group receiving neurofeedback training was given the shortest training according to the treatment protocol of 15 sessions of 30 minutes. The results of the analysis showed that the difference between the adjusted difference between the neurofeedback training group and the control group within the post-test stage was significant within the components of anger(P<0.001) and aggression(P<0.001). The contrast between the adjusted difference of the training group for neurofeedback with prove in the post-test phase on the total score of emotional dysregulation was significant(P<0.001). This significant level was repeated in all components of emotional dysregulation except the absence of emotional feelings(P>0.155). Hence, it can be said that training on neurofeedback has reduced the competitive aggression and maladjustment of football athletes. In other words, rewarding the optimal brain makes individuals learn how to perform well.
