Abstract

School and madrasah futsal players often face match pressure, spectator reactions, and performance demands that may influence their mental toughness. This study aimed to examine the relationship of self-confidence and competitive anxiety with mental toughness among MA NW Gonjong futsal players. A quantitative correlational approach was used, involving 20 players selected through total sampling. The instruments consisted of self-confidence, competitive anxiety, and mental toughness scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, correlation, and multiple regression. The results showed that self-confidence and competitive anxiety simultaneously had a significant relationship with mental toughness (F = 4.457; p = 0.028), with the model contributing 34.4%. However, partial tests showed that self-confidence (p = 0.068) and competitive anxiety (p = 0.718) were not significant predictors. In conclusion, the combination of both variables is related to mental toughness, but their partial relationships were not statistically strong.
