Keywords:
self-concept, athletes, non-athletesAbstract
Many athletes and coaches state that a high percentage of success in the sport
depends on psychological factors. Athletes are often under great pressure in
the competition, which leads to that athletes psychological characteristics are
often decisive factors in these circumstances and contribute to victory or
defeat. Athletes self-concept is certainly one of the most important
psychological factors and the focus of this paper.
The main purpose of the research was to show the importance of self-concept
among athletes that is being manifested through a positive attitude about
yourself and a belief in achieving the goal.
Expectations that there are differences in the aspects of self-concept between
athletes and non-athletes are not confirmed and the connection between most
aspects of athletes self-concept proved to be significant. The survey was
conducted on 155 adolescents age from 16 to 19, which included 72 athletes
and 83 non-athletes.
