How are self-confident as athlete?
Instructions for the assessment. Read each sentence and give an assessment from 5 to 10. First, fill the column “How do I assess myself.” Second, fill the other one “What level I want to achieve.” Meaning of the score: 5=insufficient skill, 6=nearly sufficient skill, 7=sufficient skill and errors caused by stress during competition, 8=good skill during the majority of the competing situations, 9=skill at the optimal level, 10=excellent skill.
Interpretation of the final score. If you have a score between 50-60 means that you think to be an athlete of medium level, you are able to show your skills in most of the not very stressful situation, increasing the mistakes when the pressures become higher. Score below at 46 shows a reduced self-confidence as athlete and at the contrary superior at 83 an high level of self-esteem as athlete. If there is a significant discrepancy between how you assess yourself at this moment and how you want to be, you will find benefit to be involved in a program of mental coaching.
