Introduction
Self-confidence and sport confidence (SC) have been viewed
as some of the most important factors that influence the sport
performance. Many studies had shown that athletes with high
sport confidence would possess better concentration, game
strategies, healthy emotions, control of tempos, and performance
(Chi, 1996; Gould, 1981; Mahoney, Gabriel & Perkin, 1987).
Therefore, the relationship between sport confidence and performance
should be a critical topic for sport psychologists to investigate.
