Abstract
Previous studies have extensively investigated the relationship between self-efficacy and objective performance measures, while self-rated performance in relation to self-efficacy has hardly been studied at all. Both concepts have been examined individually for their relationship with perceived training load, but not for a general moderating effect of load on the relationship. The present study aimed to add to the body of literature by investigating the relationship between self-efficacy and self-rated performance, as well as the moderation of the relationship through the rate of perceived exertion. The data set consists of 41 male players from the youth department of a first-league Eredivisie football club in the Netherlands from Under-16, Under-18, and Under-21 teams. The three concepts were assessed through single item questions in the form of a daily questionnaire at the club level throughout two competitive seasons. Self-efficacy before and the rate of perceived exertion, as well as self rated performance after training sessions. Self-efficacy and self-rated performance were significantly positively correlated (F (1,38) = 6.153, p = .018, R² = .139); however, the rate of perceived exertion was found to have no significant effect as a moderator of this relationship (t = -1.28, p = .209). The relationships between self-efficacy and the rate of perceived exertion (F (1, 38) = 1.91, R² = .048, p = .175), as well as self-rated performance and the rate of perceived exertion (F (1,38) = .006, p = .939, R² = .000), were both found not to be significant. These findings suggest that self-efficacy remains important even if self-rated performance is used, and should be given due consideration concerning the training approach. Keywords: self-efficacy, self-rated performance, rate of perceived exertion, youth football
