Abstract
This study examined the relationship between physical self worth, athletic engagement and goalorientation in Greek female athletes. Greek female athletes (current and former) participated in thepresent study (N=258). Self reported questionnaires were completed examining physical self worthfrom Physical Self-Perception Profile, athletic engagement (confidence, dedication and vigor) and goal orientation (task, ego orientations). Results showed that athletes had similar physical self worthwhether they were current athletes either they were former athletes, but athletes in individual sport had higher physical self worth than athletes in team sports. Physical self worth was predicted byconfidence, commitment and ego goal orientation. It seems that sport is a context that influencesphysical self worth in female Greek athletes and interventions must be addressed in order to enhance positive physical self worth.
