Sažetak
Current literature in the field of sport psychology suggests a relationship between goal orientation, pre-competition anxiety and other relevant factors such as self-confidence, gender, level of competition, type of sport etc. For that purpose we investigated these relationships expecting to find a positive relationship between ego goal orientation and pre-competition anxiety, and a negative relationship between task goal orientation and pre-competition anxiety. Our results did not confirm this hypothesis, but instead revealed that team sports especially for males may have a positive effect on self confidence in those athletes who are ego goal oriented and also experience less pre-competition anxiety. This is especially true for male athletes. Also, this study revealed us that Croatian athletes may have lower levels of somatic and cognitive anxiety than the American college athletes, but they also have lower self confidence levels, which is especially true for our female athletes.
