Abstract/Summary
In sports, physical skill is not the only aspect that determines a winner. There is a need for mental skills as well. Mental skills training can contribute to an improved awareness of an athlete’s strength and weakness, as well as to the ability to cope with his or her limitation (Voight, 2005). Mental skills training involve the use of cognitive strategies to improve performance. The present research focused on four cognitive strategies: instructional self talk, motivational self talk, cognitive imagery and motivational imagery. The purpose of the study was to determine if self-efficacy mediated the relationship between each of the four cognitive strategies and performance. Two hundred and two volleyball athletes competing in the UAAP season 73 tournament were the participants of the study. They were given questionnaires measuring instructional and motivational self-talk, cognitive and motivational imagery, and self efficacy. The athletes athletic performance was measured by getting the average of the accuracy in their spike, block, receive, dig, set, and serve statistics. The results of the study showed that self efficacy partially mediates the relationship of both instructional and motivational self talk and athletic performance. However, self efficacy did not mediate the relationship of both cognitive and motivational imagery and athletic performance
