A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to.

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
