The sample of the study consisted of soccer players studying physical education teaching in Gaziantep, Adana, Mersin and Karaman provinces. A total of 144 volunteer soccer players 81 of whom were male soccer players whose ages ranged between 18-24 years (X age =22.06±1.69) and years in sports ranged between 1-14 years (X years in sports =5.28±3.37) and 63 of whom were female whose ages ranged between 19-24 years(X age =22.0±1.56) and years in sports ranged between 1-14 years (X years in sports =5.25±3.02). In order to collect data on the self-efficacy status of the soccer players, General Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Sherer et al. (1982) and adapted to Turkish culture by Yildirim and Ilhan was used, and to collect data on their life-satisfaction, Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish culture by Yetim (1991) was utilized. In the analysis of the data, the relational scanning model which includes the comparison and correlation type of analyses among the variables was used. With the normality test results were found to have a normal distribution, Independent T-Test was used for paired comparisons, and Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to examine the relationship status.Keywords : Physical education, soccer, life satisfaction, self-efficacy
