Personal information form, Self-esteem Scale and Agression Scale are used to obtain the necessary data. The data obtained from the study is analyzed by SPSS program. The self esteem of the deaf footballers and the hearing footballers is in the middle level. When the footballers’ general agression average score is evaluated according to the disability level, deaf (totally) footballers’ general agression values are x=153,53 and hearing footballers general agression values are x=114,00.
