The self-concept scores of the subjects were obtained by using self-concept Questionnaire (SCQ) by Dr. Raj Kumar Saraswat. To compare the Self-concept between male cricket players of each level from the state of Uttar Pradesh Analysis of variance was applied at .05 level of significance. Result: The observed mean and standard deviation of Self-Concept was found to be 171.30 & 9. 86 for Group I, 174.45 &10.46 for Group II and 186.36 &10.88 for Group III respectively. There exists a significant difference among the three group, since the computed value of F (28.88) on cricket players belonging to various levels in relation to self-concept was more than the tabulated of 3.0576, at F (2,147) at .05 level, therefore hypothesis on cricket players belonging to various levels in relation to self-concept was accepted at 0.05 level.

Introduction Self-confidence has been defined as the belief that you can successfully perform a desired behavior. High levels of self-confidence can enhance positive emotions, concentration, setting more challenging goals, increasing effort and developing effective competitive strategies. Self-confidence is characterized by high expectancy of success. It can help individuals to arouse positive emotions, facilitate concentration, set goals, increase effort, focus their game strategies and maintain momentum. Self confidence is widely believed to be an important aspect of the psychological make-up of the individual athlete. Research studies indicate that the most consistent factor distinguishing highly successful from less successful athletes is confidence. For many athletes, an explanation of the concept of self-confidence is hardly necessary as they know intuitively what it is. Indeed, self-confidence is so palpable in some athletes; one can almost reach out and touch it. Their confidence is reflected in everything they say and do, in what they wear and how they look. A high level of self-confidence is one of the most consistently reported psychological characteristics of elite athletes, and research has shown that self-confidence often distinguishes highly successful athletes from the less successful ones. Understanding the psychological processes that emphasize self-confidence in sports has been of significant importance to the theorists in the field of sport psychology. Research has established a firm connection of self confidence in sports over the years. It also contains three more features of behavior called the stimulating, directing and sustaining the ability. Most sport psychology researchers, applied consultants, coaches, and athletes agree that self-confidence is an essential contributor to optimal sport performance. Research has identified self-confidence as a characteristic that clearly distinguishes between successful and unsuccessful athletes. The self-confidence in sport has been examined as critical things deeply impact on sport performance. Self-confidence is another one of the most important characteristics a player must possess during a match, even the most successful professionals experience fluctuations in their level of self-confidence. Self-confidence is a person's inner belief or conviction in his ability to perform well regardless of the external environment. Self-confidence in sports signifies an
