Abstract
Measures of locus of control and self-esteem were gathered from 20 competitive age-group swimmers aged 7 to 17 yr. These young athletes were more internal than their non-athletic contemporaries. Also, on self-esteem the competitive swimmers were significantly elevated.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
