Methods: Subjects were 17 throwing athletes, 10 males and 7 females, from University of Taipei. Demographic information sheets, self-verbal recording sheets for throwing sports, and the Three-Factor Anxiety Inventory were used for the study. Experimental group subjects received 1 hour self-verbal training on throwing skills every week for 8 weeks, and all subjects filled out the Three-Factor Anxiety Inventory in week 1, 5, and 8. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA were used for data analyses.

No gender differences were found on sport anxiety. No difference was found on sport anxiety among athletes with difference throwing sports. No difference was found on sport anxiety among athletes with different competition level.
