This study aims to design the Sports Specific Personality traits among athletes, specifically focusing on hockey and boxing players’ male, in relation to their respective sports. A total of 100 athletes, comprising 50 hockey players and 50 boxing players, aged between 16 and 23 years, were selected using random sampling based on the type of games they participated in, all from the Delhi state. The Sports Specific Personality Test, developed and standardized by Dr. Agya Jit Singh and Dr. H. S. Cheema in 2010, served as the primary data collection. Statistical analyses, including Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.), and the ‘t’ test, were applied. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the Sports Specific Personality between hockey and boxing players. However, a significant difference was observed in the Sports Specific Personality of athletes engaged in Individual Games compared to those in Team Games, with Team Game participants exhibiting a higher Sports Specific Personality.
