Resilience, Anxiety and Self-Esteem in Athletes and Non- Athletes

Abstract

Being willing and open to new experiences, opportunities, training, and techniques, but also being conscientious of who you are and what a resilient person can accomplish. It also helps create an optimistic mindset which can go a long way. Everyone believes that self-esteem is a key for athletes to reach a higher level by overcoming any obstacle to achieve their goals. Whereas, performance anxiety can interfere with the ability to perform. This study was conducted to compare/find the level of resilience, anxiety, and self-esteem in athletes and non-athletes. The sample consisted of 200 athletes from various sports and 200 non-athletes from different backgrounds. The participants were of the age group 20-28 years. The study concluded that there is a significant difference in anxiety, self-esteem, and resilience in athletes and non-athletes.
