Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Self-Esteem, Self-Talk and Confidence on Perceived Sports Performance. Past research has shown that athletes are influenced by Self-Esteem, Self-Talk and Confidence, which offered the opportunity to research the variables that further influence on Sports Performance. The present study hypothesized that collegiate athletes with higher scores on the Self-Esteem, Self-Talk and Confidence scales will have a higher Perceived Sports Performance score. Eighty-eight undergraduate student athletes were surveyed online to measure their Self-Esteem, Self-Talk, Confidence and Perceived Sports Performance levels. Self-Esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale. Self-Talk was measured using the Kock-Petersen Self-Talk scale. Confidence was measured using the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Perceived Sports Performance was measured using the Perceived Sports Performance Scale. The hypothesis was supported by the results of the study. The results showed a significant positive relationship between Self-Esteem, Self-Talk, and Confidence on Perceived Sports Performance. While much research has been done on Self-Esteem, Self-Talk and Confidence in athletes, additional studies need to be conducted on the effects of these variables on actual physical performance rather than perceived performance.
