<![CDATA[The importance of this research lies in understanding motor performance anxiety and its relationship with the accuracy of the circular compound attack thrust among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Players and students with high anxiety exhibit more anxiety-driven motivations than those with lower anxiety, as they are influenced by cognitive aspects and prior experience. The research problem emerged from the researcher’s review of scientific sources, theses, and observation of training sessions, where a noticeable weakness in the accuracy of the circular compound attack thrust was observed, attributed to motor performance anxiety. Students show signs of weakness, loss of focus, and a drop in performance, especially in the early minutes of matches. Hence, the researcher aimed to study this issue and determine the impact of motor performance anxiety on the accuracy of this skill. The research objectives were: To identify motor performance anxiety and the accuracy of the circular compound attack thrust among students. To explore the relationship between the level of motor performance anxiety and the accuracy of the circular compound attack thrust. The researcher used a descriptive method with a survey and correlational approach. The population consisted of third-stage students (116 students in three groups A, B, C) at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Al-Ain University, Iraq, for the academic year 2024–2025. Key conclusions: There is an inverse relationship between motor performance anxiety and the accuracy of the circular compound attack thrust among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Al-Ain University, for the academic year 2024–2025.]]>
