Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of pre-competitive anxiety experienced by N=348 Greek basketball referees. In order to classify the stress factors Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) used. The aim was to examine Cognitive state anxiety, Somatic state anxiety, and Self-confidence, which require them to exercise self-control for optimal performance before and after the games. Results indicated that cognitive and somatic anxiety after the event was higher. On the other hand, self-confident decreased. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that referees' competitive anxiety might affect their fear of
mistakes before a stressful game.
