The aim of this study was to compare and prioritize the factors influencing on satisfaction of the wrestlers of national team. Samples in this paper were 110 people in 1932. Due to the small size of the statistical population, all samples were selected. Athlete satisfaction questionnaire (ASQ) was used to collect information. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was 0/78-0/95 from main producer's view. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, Friedman test and Spearman correlation coefficients were used. Results showed that there is satisfaction relation among the dimension of priorities of satisfaction of the wrestlers (p≥0/05, sig = 0/001), and it included satisfaction with the individual participation, strategy, education and training, and personal behavior. Significant negative relationship between the ages of wrestlers and satisfaction was another finding (r = 0/19, P≥0/05). By increasing the age of wrestlers, satisfaction decreased. Also significant negative relation exits between level of education and satisfaction (r = 0/2, P≥0/05). By increasing the level of education, satisfaction decreased. Overall, priorities obtained in this study showed that, except the first priority which is related to the extent of participation, enthusiasm and commitment to the athletes, other priorities were related to the coaches, which have the main share in the satisfaction of wrestlers of national teams.
