Abstract

The objective of the study was to compare the competitive anxiety and self concept among forward line, half line and defence line of inter university soccer players. 45 male players participating in Inter University Football Tournament were selected as subject for this study. The age of subject ranged between 18 to 25 years. The competitive anxiety and self concept questionnaire prepared by Reiner Martens and Raj Kumar Saraswat was used to collect data to measure the level of competitive anxiety and self concept. One way analysis of variance was used as a statistical procedure. There is a insignificant difference among competitive anxiety and selfconcept between forward line, halfline and defence line players in soccer. Competitive anxiety and selfconcept were not found significant at 0.05 level. It may be due to to the modern concept of total football. The player has to play indifferent position according to the situation as there is no specific position in today's revolutionary scenario of football.
