Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between female softball players' feelings about their own softball skill and their actual softball skill. Specifically this study sought answers to the following questions: 1. What is the softball skill self-esteem of women in slo—pitch softball as measures by the Q-sort? 2. What is the softball skill of women in slo-pitch softball? 2. Is there a statistically significant relationship between softball skill self-esteem and softball skill? 4. Is there a significant difference between pre-season softball skill self-esteem and post season softball skill self-esteem? 5. Is there a difference between softball skill self-esteem of beginners and that of experienced players? 6. Does a difference exist between the softball skill self-esteem of infielders and that of outfielders? The subjects were fifty three (53) female softball players within the Amateur Softball Association's slo-pitch, double A league in the State of Rhode Island. All subjects participated in a pre-season and post season Q-sort which was the test used to measure softball skill self-esteem.
