The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between experiences of collegiate athletics and fundamental competencies for working persons [“Action”, “Thinking”, and “Teamwork”] in collegiate rugby players, and to clarify the effects of experiences in collegiate athletics on fundamental competencies for working persons. One hundred and thirteen collegiate rugby players completed questionnaires of the Experience Scale in Athletic Clubs (Shimamoto & Ishii, 2008) and Scale of Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons (Kitajima et al., 2011). Analyses using the Pearson’ s correlation coefficients demonstrated the significant correlation between “self-disclosure experience” and “Action”, “Thinking”, and “Teamwork” ; “daily life guidance from leaders experience” and “Teamwork” ; “challenge and achievement experience” and “Thinking”, and “Teamwork” ; “support from others experience” and “Action”, “Thinking”, and “Teamwork” ; “effort and endurance experience” and “Action”, “Thinking”, and “Teamwork”. In addition, the results of multiple regression analysis demonstrated that “self-disclosure experience” affected “Teamwork”, and “support from others experience” and “effort and endurance experience” affected “Action”.
