Abstract :This thesis aims to examine the relationship between the level of self-talk with elite archers according to some variables and their shooting performance. A total of 242 elite-level archers, 113 women, and 129 men, voluntarily participated in the study. The archers participating in the study are the athletes competing in the compound bow (n = 100) and recurve bow categories (n = 142) and 102 of them were in the National Team. In the study, the Self-Talk Scale developed by Zervas, Stavrou, and Psychountaki (2007) and adapted to Turkish by Engür (2011) and the Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher were used. The data obtained in the study were analyzed with the SPSS17 package program. Correlation, Kruskal Wallis, and Mann Whitney U tests were used in the solution and interpretation of the data. While interpreting the results, the significance level was determined as p <0.05. As a result of this study, it was determined that there is a statistically significant difference in the levels of self-talk with them in terms of gender, sports age, and being a national athlete, and there is a weak but positive correlation between the shooting performance of the archers and their level of speaking with them according to the gender variable.
