Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare six psychological skills among Iranian
junior and senior elite free style ad Greco – Roman wrestlers. For this purpose, 285
wrestlers (free style junior N=70, Greco – Roman junior N=71, Free style senior
N=73, and Greco – Roman senior N=71) who were invited to the national training
camp last year were sampled and completed SASI Psych questionnaire. The results of
ANOVA showed that there are no significant differences among four psychological
skills (motivation, concentration, self – confidence and goal setting) in four different
groups (f=3.5 and p<0.01). While, in two cases (psychological control and imagery)
we found significant differences among groups (p<0.01).
