Aim of this study was to determine how certain psychological factors will affect the adoption of the basics of alpine skiing technique in beginners. The aim was also to determine what difference in opinion and feeling of participants would be, before and after a ten-day ski school with licensed ski instructors. The research was conducted on a sample of 41 participants. All participants were student age and for the first time they faced with ski school, as well as with an equipment needed in this sport on the snow. Participants had a task to fill out three separate questionnaires, that checked their fear and level of self-efficacy and courage. The initial fulfillment was carried out after the first day of getting acquainted with the ski equipment and the first attempts to overcome the gentle ski slope, and final one, at the end of the ski school. The questionnaires together consisted of 50 claims, of which 9 of them related to fear, 10 to self-efficacy and 31 claims to a sense of courage. The results of the Chi square test, comparing each question, did not obtain statistically significant differences between the initial and final measurements in almost, not even one question. The only statistically significant difference was established in the statement: "And when faced with the possibility of injury, my performance is at the highest level", (p=0,03). With the obtained results we can conclude that fear was not largely present when approaching learning of alpine skiing, therefore there were no major changes in the second enquiry. Given that the results of self-efficacy and courage were relatively high before learning process, there was also no change in the second measurement. Such results can be attributed to the fact that the sample was relatively small, but on the other hand, the research was conducted on a group of people who stand out with their motor skills in relation to the rest of the population. Particularly, the participants were students of the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb. There are many factors that need additional research in order to get more accurate results and how such research could be applied and used for help in the work of ski schools.
