Abstract/Summary

There have been numerous studies done about the effect of sports participation to a student athlete's confidence: However the researchers would like to find out how athletes perceive their confidence and their self confidence trait to be influenced by the sport that they join in. This study was done using both qualitative and quantitative design but the main focus is the qualitative side where the researchers analyzed their data using the Narrative Analysis method. It was found that sports participation affects a student's athlete's confidence and self-confidence trait in numerous ways. The results of the study showed that a student athlete's confidence and self-confidence trait was affected when his or her mental and physical attributes and popularity improved through his or her involvement with sports. Another is that these student athletes develop their confidence and self-confidence trait whenever they are motivated and competitive with other people but also themselves. And lastly, there was a development of time management and social skills among these student athletes as they chose to partake in their respective sports.
