The study consists of 135 athletes who are 126 men, 9 women and also are selected randomly from the branches of barbell, wrestling and boxing in Ankara. A scale form is used as data collection tool in study. The scale forms consist of 2 different parts. In first part, there are some questions about personal characteristics. In second part, there are some questions about the level of self- sufficiency. The findings obtained are collected with the scale of self-sufficiency. The reliability and validity of scale forms are calculated as 0.716 Cronbach alpha value. According to these criteria, the scale is reliable. The data are evaluated in detail by analyzing in SPSS 20.0 programme. In analysis, the analysis of correlation, t test of independent sample, one-way analysis of variance and Tukey test are used. There are no meaningful differences in terms of the levels of women and men participants’ self-sufficiency in research findings. Also, the level of self- sufficiency doesn’t differ according to the age and branch of sport. Given the influence of general self-sufficiency on the attitudes and performance of sportsmen, it is extremely important to know and develop methods for increasing general selfefficacy levels. Athletes' self-efficacy beliefs are an important element in increasing motivation for level of spore participation and success. As people's perception of general self-efficacy increases, so does the interest in the places. Copyright © The Author(s).

Introduction Sports activities are the regular activities that are carried out with the aim of ensuring the development of individuals’ bodies, soul and ideas, strengthening their national emotions and preparing them for daily living conditions. Amusement, exercise, development of skills, demonstration of success, health, socialization and both mental and spiritual satisfaction are the reasons for both men and females’ actively participating in these activities. Another reason for athletes’ being successful is faith of competence. Multiple psychological factors and faith of general self-efficacy may be effective in athletes’ being in or outside of the sports. Sportive success is in an interaction with mental performance, physical performance, and psychological performance. Especially when the athletes are thought to be in psychological struggle during the match, they have to be in a position to know and apply the prerequisites for successful leaving (Karademir & Çoban, 2011). Performance is crucial for athletes. Psychological performance’s being at top-level as well as physical performance brings the real success. The self-efficacy beliefs which is defined as a belief of capacity to make a certain job is an important factor for athletes (Bandura, 1994).It can be argued that using discipline and new methods among athletes with high or low self-sufficiency strongly influences sportive success (Cengiz, vd. 2012). Self-efficacy is an important issue that determines how someone will think, feel, and act. Low self-efficacy leads to feelings of depression and desperation. Such people also have low self-confidence. The level of self-efficacy may prevent or increase motivation. People with high self-efficacy may choose harder and more risky tasks. Their targets are high and they work hard to reach their targets (Schwarzer & Fuchs, 1995). However; self-efficacy are not the same with unrealistic feelings and dreams. On the contrary, it depends on experience, it does not cause taking unrealistic risk and it guides agile behavior by person’s developing himself. It enables person to see his talents more clearly.
