Abstract

Supporter chant support is one of the external factors that can influence an athlete's mental state, especially in soccer (Abdullah et al., 2016). Chant provided during a match can create an atmosphere that influences an athlete's level of self-confidence. This study aims to determine the role of supporter chant support on the self-confidence of senior soccer athletes during matches. The method used in this study is descriptive with a quantitative approach, involving 23 soccer athletes competing in the Indonesian professional league. The instrument used for data collection was a Likert scale questionnaire, consisting of 71 questions to measure the level of supporter chant support and self-confidence indicators administered once to the sample. After the data was obtained, the data were analyzed using the SPSS 25 correlation test. The results showed a significant relationship between supporter chant support and soccer athletes during matches. This study concluded that supporter chants play an important role in increasing soccer athletes' self-confidence, thus supporting their performance to improve externally. Therefore, the researcher recommends that supporters continue to provide positive support through positive chants to build an athlete's self-confidence during matches.

In the world of sports, athletes often experience a psychological phenomenon known as impostor syndrome. Impostor syndrome is a phenomenon in which a person with a strong track record of achievements feels they have deceived others regarding their skills, doubts their own abilities, and believes that their success is due to external factors; this can negatively impact the athlete’s self-confidence. This study aims to examine the prevalence of the Impostor Syndrome phenomenon among individual athletes and to determine the impact of Impostor Syndrome on the self-confidence of individual athletes. A descriptive method with a quantitative approach was used in this study, which involved 24 individual athletes aged 18–25 years. The instruments used in the study consisted of two questionnaires: the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) and the Athlete Self-Confidence Questionnaire (ASQ), which were administered once to the sample. After the data were collected, data analysis was performed using the correlation test in SPSS Version 29. The results of the study indicate that impostor syndrome influences competitive self-confidence in individual athletes. Based on the results, it can be concluded that impostor syndrome has a significant effect on athletes’ self-confidence. The higher the level of impostor syndrome experienced by athletes, the lower their level of self-confidence and the higher their level of anxiety
