摘要：Physical and sport activities play an important role in the young people's lives as they represent a good
way to reduce negative phenomena and possible psychological problems. On the one hand, bearing in mind
the importance of sport activities, and on the other, today's preoccupation of young people with numerous
contents that do not have physical activity, it was important to look at the differences in the self-esteem
aspects (self-esteem and self-efficacy) of young people engaged in sport activities as well as those who are
not. Thus, the aim of this paper was to examine the level of self-confidence of young people involved in
sport activities. Furthermore, based on the aspects of self-esteem and self-efficacy, to identify the
differences between youth who are engaged in sports and those who do not practice sport activities in order
to raise awareness of the importance of sport activities for self-confidence and their life quality. The
research included 155 youngsters ages 16 to 19, where 72 were athletes and 83 were non-sportsters. The
results showed that young people engaged in sport activities have a higher level of self-confidence; there
are no significant differences in this pattern between athletes and people who do not participate in sports,
although those engaged in sport activities achieve higher results. There is an important link between selfesteem
and self-efficacy in athletes, and there is no significant difference in aspects of self-confidence with
regard to the age of young people engaged in sport activities.
