The present study used the Diagnostic Inventory of Psychological Competitive Ability for Athletes(DIPCA.3)to compare and investigate the psychological competitiveness of college track and field athletes. The investigation focused on differences in national competition experience and total number of years of experience, and whether athletes had a warm-up routine.The following points were discovered as a result:1) High-level athletes who had participated in national competitions exhibited a significantly higher score than other players on two items(confidence and decisiveness).Athletes with long experience(10 years or more)exhibited significantly higher scores in terms of patience, self control, predictive ability, judgment, mental stability, and strategic ability than other athletes who had less experience.2) No difference was found in psychological competitiveness between athletes based on whether they had a routine.These results suggest that routine does not have the effect of improving competitive ability.
