Keywords:

The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between self-confidence and intercollegiate sprinters performance. To achieve the purpose 30 participants of final sprint events of the MJP Rohilkhand University Intercollegiate athletic meet, held at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, 2018 were selected. The age of the subjects was ranged from 18 to 25 years. A questionnaire by Rainer Marten (CSAI-2) was used to collect data about the level of pre-competition anxiety. The CSAI-2 was scored by computing a total score ranging from a low of 9 to a high of 36. The collected data were analyzed by using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The result of the study showed that self-confidence (r=0.482) was significantly related to the performance at 0.05 level of significance since obtaining the value of co-efficient correlation is greater than the tabulated value (r=0.361). It is concluded that self-confidence is having a positive relationship with the performance of sprinters.
