The study is a preliminary study founded to study whether physical performance in elite female volleyball players has a relationship with empathy and sportsmeness. In this context, the research group is formed by a team selected through intentional sampling from the teams in the Sultan League. The number of participants in the study is 11. The research group’s average age is 22.63±5.66 years, the sports age is 12.36±5,53 years and the size average is 1.81±0.68 cm. The study used isochinetic dynamometers to evaluate physical performance as a data collection tool, the interpersonal responsibility index for empathy, and the prosocial and antisosial behavior scale in sports for sporting. The spearman correlation ratio was looked at to investigate whether there is a relationship between the variables. The data obtained in the study suggests that there is no linear relationship between physical performance and the subdimensions of empathy, fantasy (r=0,260, p=0,700), perspective (r=0,046, p=0,150) and empathic thinking (r=0,300, p=0,880) and the subdimensions of sportsmency, and the prosocial behavior (r=0,370, p=0,091), and the rival prosocial behavior (r=0,15, p=0,65) between the subdimensions of physical performance and the subdimensions of empathy. In other words, the empathy and athletic skills of a female volleyball player with high strength parameters have not increased in the same proportion. As a result, the need for training athletes within a whole (physical, psychological and social) arises, knowing that coaches are unable to show the same level of empathic skills and athletic orientation as players with high physical performance. According to the research, the high physical characteristics of an athlete do not mean that the social and moral characteristics of an athlete will also be high. For subsequent research, it can be suggested to conduct an examination of the closely touched team sports (football, basketball, hentai) and gender and increase the number of participants.
