ABSTRACT
Purpose:
Morgan’s iceberg profile of mood states (low scores in tension, depression, anger, fatigue and confusion, and high scores in vigour) may influence skilled athletes’ performance. Aims: The present study aimed to examine in 30 professional goalball athletes whether: (1) there is an ‘iceberg mood profile’, (2) the profile of mood states predicts the motor performance, (3) the experience level (international or national) and the condition (training or competition) modulate the relationship between the profile of mood states and the motor performance.

Methods:
We used Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) to evaluate the profile of mood states and successful actions, errors and goals to assess motor performance. Measurements were obtained during official competition and pre-competition training with similar game rules.

Results:
Athletes demonstrated the ‘iceberg mood profile’ regardless of the experience level and contextual condition. Additionally, tension seems to be associated with motor performance during training, whereas vigour predicts successful action in competition.

Conclusions:
Iceberg mood profile characterises the profile of mood states of professional goalball athletes independent of experience level (international and national) and contextual conditions (pre-competition training and competition).
