Abstract The main thrust of the modern sports is on winning, not just participating and playing. Physical Health and fitness or joy and fun are no longer the purpose or even the target. Will to Win is the intensity to desire to defeat an opponent or to excel some performance standard in a given sports. This construct is similar to need- achievement and internal locus of control. It is also related partly to competition and some parts of aggression. The objectives of the study are to compare the will to win of boxers participating national, state and district level.
