Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare competitive anxiety and fear of failure in football player with various posts. 55 football players were randomly selected from the Azadegan second division league. To gather the data the Competitive state anxiety inventory (CSAI)-2 and the performance failure appraisal inventory (PFAI) were used.  Results showed that there are significant differences in competitive anxiety among different posts (goalkeepers have more cognitive and somatic anxiety and lower self-esteem). There are significant differences in the fear of failure among the various posts. There is a significant correlation between competitive anxiety and fear of failure, In other words, reduce of cognitive and somatic anxiety  decrease the fear of failure and vice versa, and decrease of self-esteem tends to increase the  fear of failure.
