The result showed significant difference in all angers sub-scales between successful athletes (F=4/23, sig≤0/05) with less successful athletes (F=7/61, sig≤0/05) and un-successful athletes (F= 5/04, sig≤0/05).Also in mood sub-scales there were significant difference in Depression (F= 3/26, sig≤0/05), Fatigue (F=4/19, sig≤0/05) and Vigor(F=5/46, sig≤0/05) but there were not significant difference in other sub-scales(P>0.05). The result of Pearson coefficients test showed negative and significant relation sheep between self-confidence with athletes anger (r= -0.21) and mood in individual athletes (r= -0.16).
Coaches can also benefit from the findings of applied sports psychology in training session and assessment of mood in stressful athletes and convert it to positive mood, have significant role in improving athletes self- confidence and their effectiveness.
