520 |a Music therapy is increasingly used in sports for enhancing sport performance. It provides a mean of improving mental strength among sportspersons. The purpose of this study is to enhance intrinsic motivation, physical self-efficacy and performance of female football players through music therapy. For this purpose, twenty two female football players, in the age group of 21-26 were screened on the basis of their scores on Sport Motivation Scale and Physical Self-Efficacy Scale. Then, they were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was given music therapy intervention for fifteen days. After intervention period, same scales were re-administered. In order to analyze the statistical data, t-test was applied. The results have shown that experimental group was significantly higher on intrinsic motivation and physical self-efficacy in comparison to control group. A football match was arranged between both groups at the end of study. The experimental group won the match by 4-2. The present research implies that music therapy can be highly effective in increasing psychological strength of sports persons.
