The Spearman Correlation parameter calculated in order to comment the relationship with data, Multiple regretion analysis were performed for the predictive power of self-esteem for self monitoring levels of the participants. According to the analysis, a negative relationship was found among self-esteem, self-monitoring total score, and extraversion levels. And it was found that self-esteem levels predictived self monitoring levels substantially. It was found that the self-monitoring and extraversion affected self-esteem negatively, it was thought that highly self-esteemed athletes have a tendency to see themselves as superior than the other athletes, ignore the extraneous criticism. No matter what self-esteem levels is that extraversion and acting altitute (attitude) ? has not change. Consequently, self-esteem has reverse relationship with self-monitoring properties since trainers and teachers both is raised self-esteem and is helped self-monitoring themselves.
