Self-efficacy is defined as the belief about one's ability to achieve goals and to overcome obstacles in daily living. It is viewed as a global construct and is drawn from the internal averaging of all successes and failures that are attributed to the self. Self-efficacy is an expectation that one can successfully perform a behavior. This is influenced by one's past experiences and attribution of success to chance or skill. High self-efficacy allows an individual to overcome doubts and to cope with various discomforts, conflicts in complicated situations better and more efficiently. Physical self-efficacy is self-confidence including individual's evaluation what he would be able to perform in specific situations by making use his skills during a fixed time. The object of the research: the concept of self-efficacy and characteristics of athlete's self-efficacy. The aim of the study: to analyze the concept of self-efficacy and its peculiarities. The objectives: to describe the concept of self-efficacy; to reveal the peculiarities of athletes self efficacy; to describe impact of self-efficacy for the behavior; to reveal resources of development of self-efficacy. The method of research – the analysis of the scientific literature.It was found that a good competitor's physical self-efficacy is usually based on three criteria: "level" refers to the expected outcome, "strength" determines athlete's belief, and "Community" determines the scope of areas that are exposed to physical self- efficacy. It can be note four features of self-efficacy which acts human behavior. First, the self-efficacy leads to personal preference. Second, self-efficacy determines how much effort people will put in certain activity and how long a person it will do. Thirdly, human behavior is influenced by patterns and emotional reactions. The fourth feature – it can easily predictable behavior. There were established resources of development of self-efficacy: personal achievements (past experience), indirect experience (gained in monitoring the success of others), stimulation and emotional state. While there are a number of measures to assess physical self-efficacy, but in practice it is very unlikely that an athlete before the competition to complete a questionnaire designed to assess the level of self- efficacy. Verbal description of the athlete's well-being is often more accurate and more efficient than many other instruments. Therefore, the coach plays a very important role to listen carefully what the athlete talk before the competition, because so can diagnose the level of self-efficacy. Spontaneous speech, positive and negative discussion, enthusiasm before competitions provides significant information about the athlete's physical self-efficacy. Listening and analysis of the athlete's words, perhaps, is the best method to assess the child's physical self-efficacy. [text from author]
