Physical self-concept (PSC) is a person’s perceptions of himself/herself formed through experience with and interpretations of his/her environment related to her physical domain. Most of aesthetic athletes possess a high physical self-concept and high performance level. The purpose of the present study was to find the relationship between physical self-concept and performance, in non-aesthetic athletes. Therefore, this study tried to determine the relationship between the Physical Self-Concept with performance of young Wrestlers. Physical Self Perception Profile (PSPP) test was administered on a total of 123 young wrestlers who participated in the “7th All India Chandgiram gold cup wrestling tournaments in March 17-18, 2018”. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure the significance relationship. The results revealed that PSC have a positive significant relationship with the performance. This study also suggested that both male and female wrestler’s performance are affected by their PSC.
