For this purpose, data were collected from 353 soccer players using adapted version of the TONI-2. The soccer players had a mean age of 14.78 years. Collected data was analyzed by ANOVA for age groups, t statistics for comparisons of gender and level of education. ANOVA and t statistics of the data revealed the significant differences between age groups, gender and level of education. Multiple comparisons showed that TONI-2 points increased with the age from 13 through 17 in order. Results also indicated that female players from male players and high school players from secondary school players have higher TONI-2 points in soccer.
