The current research aimed to identify the Athlete Self-Efficacy among visually impaired athletes of team and individual sports.

The researchers used the descriptive (survey) approach.

Research community included (51) visually impaired athletes.

The main sample included (30) athletes divided as follows: (10) team sports athletes (Bell Ball) and (20) individual sports athletes (judo – karate – weightlifting – physical fitness competition).

Another (20) athletes from the same research community and outside the main sample were recruited for the pilot study.

Only one athlete was excluded.

The researcher proved the Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) (Koçak 2020) (Arabicized by the researchers) valid and reliable to be applied in the Egyptian environment.

The scale included (16) items divided on (4) dimensions (Sport Discipline Efficacy – Psychological Efficacy – Professional Thought Efficacy– Personality Efficacy).

Validity ranged from (0.86) to (0.91) while reliability ranged from (0.87) to (0.93) with total of (0.891).

Results revealed high levels of athlete self-efficacy among visually impaired athletes with relative importance ranging from (77.333% ) to (84.667% ).

For team sports athletes (Goalball) relative importance was (80.625٪) while for individual sports athletes (judo – karate – weightlifting – physical fitness competition), the same value was (82.557% ).

The researchers concluded that there were no statistically significant differences between visually impaired athletes of team and individual sports on the order of (Sport Discipline Efficacy – Personality Efficacy) while there were differences on the order of (Professional Thought Efficacy - Psychological Efficacy).

There were no statistically significant differences between visually impaired athletes of team and individual sports on the total sum of the scale.

The researchers think that the scale dimensions proved its ability to measure athlete self-efficacy among visually impaired athletes.

The researchers suggest the application of the scale on other samples of visually impaired athletes and non-athletes to identify the level of self-efficacy.
