Abstract


The study aims at analyzing from an educational perspective the effect of Coping Skills on the achievement level of male athletes in Track and Field. 200 male subjects were selected through Randomized Sequential Sampling from the unified list of medalists and Non-Medalists. To test Coping skills, ACSI-28 BR was preferred due to its high reliability and validity. The data were analyzed through an independent t-test and the level of significance was set at 0.05. The descriptive analysis of the data revealed that the mean score of Medalists was much higher than non-medalist athletes. Further, the analysis of data also reveals that there was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the mean score of Medalist and Non-Medalist players in both track and field events. Thus, it was concluded that the selected psychological variables have a role in the achievement level of the athletes and must be considered during training for Track & Field events.
