Conceptual Study regarding the Effect of Cognitive Anxiety and Self-confidence on the Performance of Basketball and Volleyball Players

    The goal of the current study was to find out how cognitive anxiety and self-confidence affected the performance of basketball and volleyball players. Female intercollegiate volleyball and basketball players made up the study's sample. For this investigation, a stratified sampling strategy was employed. Each segment's sample of 150,150 females age was limited to 16 to 21 (Mean=18.5 and Stander Deviation=1.87). Female basketball and volleyball teams from Sargodha District College that took part in the district of Sargodha in Sargodha District from 2015 to 2016 were the only ones included in the innovative study. To investigate the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable, adopted questionnaires were utilized. The data was tabulated and then subjected to regression and inferential statistics. Results showed that anxiety has a significant negative impact on the performance of basketball and volleyball players. Additionally, it was discovered that there was no association between dependent and independent variables. It was suggested that the coaches should receive extensive facilitation as a coping mechanism to boost their self-assurance and prevent worry, which would ultimately improve their performance. Additionally, it was suggested that coaches and trainers may provide a peaceful environment to athletes and basketball and volleyball players so that they keep away from cognitive anxiety and enhance their self-confidence.
