Sports Psychology is one of the new upcoming sciences at the present time. This practice focuses on training athletes to use their mental capacities along with their physical talent to reach what is known as peak performance. Athletes those are without having good sports psychological skills and having only physical talent means nothing at all. Psychological Skills are the mental qualities or abilities which are determinant for the purpose of enhancing performance, increasing enjoyment, or achieving greater sport and physical activity self-satisfaction in the competitive sports. PST program helps the athletes to have tremendous abilities to psych themselves up for competition to manage their stress; to concentrate intensely and to set challenging but realistic goals, to have the ability to visualize themselves being successful and then doing what they visualized as a part of training and to excel in the world of competitive sports (Murphy & Tammen, 1998). A great deal of research effort has concentrated on attempting to predict performance from psychological variables. Through evidence it has been proposed that sport psychologists can develop athletes' performances by enhancing their psychological skills sideways. Some of the most important mental skills are competition anxiety, motivation, goal setting, relaxation, visualization, self-talk , self-awareness and control, concentration and confidence (Robert S. Weinberg and Daniel Gould, 2003). Among these PSTs, we treated only competition anxiety and sport motivations.

The main purpose of this research was provided an imperative framework depicting how sports PST decipher in to improvement within-practice and competitive performance by showing athletes' levels. Secondly; investigated a revolutionary attempt made by the inquiry to attributed psychological skills training levels in age, sex,sport types,playing posititons or enents and score rank group factors in between team and individual athletes to infer the intended study area across Ethiopia. This research design was descriptive and treated both qualitative and quantitative study methodologies. In terms of sample sources distribution the focused areas of the study were from team sports (Football), and individual sports (Athletics events), and were developed by mixed sampling techniques.The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0 and descriptive statistics method were developed. The two standardized PST assessment scale questionnaires were Illinois competition anxiety test and sport motivational scale (SMS28). Independent Samples Test, Chi -Square of Cross Tabulation, Anova, and a Pearson Correlation Analysis tools were applied. Based on the tool of chi-square test output in competitive anxieties in general there was no significant relationships between male and female football players. Founded from the independent samples Test output in motivations in broadly there were no significant differences between team and individual athletes. Extrinsically team athletes (M = 3.23) and individual athletes (M = 3.20), t (493) = -.423, p = .672. And amotivation, team athletes (M = 2.68) had low than individual athletes (M = 2.75), t (493) = -.624, p = .533. Generally, the researcher founded that both Ethiopian sport types' athletes were highly competitive anxious (cognitive and somatic state anxiety) and low self confidence. And as measured in different statistical tools broadly the sport motivation PST levels results directed us to conclude both Ethiopian team and individual sports type athletes were under low intrinsic motives and high in both extrinsic motivation and amotivation in 2016/17 competition season
