In the consistency dimension, 131 athletes (93.57%) were classified as high, and 9

(104 athletes, 74.29%), and objectivity (80 athletes, 57.14%). As for the low category, the objectivity indicator recorded the highest number (60 athletes, 42.86%),
followed by belief in self-ability (36 athletes, 25.17%), responsibility (20 athletes,
