Abstract

In martial arts sports such as pencak silat, physical, technical and mental abilities are required, but often the mentality of athletes is not considered very important by coaches. Pencak silat athletes are often faced with the pressures of competition, failure and stress that affect emotional stability. Growth mindset is believed to influence the way athletes deal with these challenges. This mindset encourages individuals to believe that abilities can be developed through effort and learning so that they have a positive impact on emotional management. The research method used is quantitative with a correlational approach. The instruments used in the study were a growth mindset scale and an emotion management scale given once to the sample. After the data was obtained, data analysis was carried out using the SPSS Version 26 correlation test. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between growth mindset and the level of self-confidence in pencak silat athletes. Athletes who have a higher growth mindset tend to have better self-confidence in facing challenges and pressures when competing. This is in line with previous findings which state that structured pencak silat training not only improves physical skills, but also strengthens mental and emotional aspects, and can increase athlete confidence. This study concludes that growth mindset and emotional management of Pencak Silat athletes in the preparation stage have a relationship between each other, where growth mindset affects the level of emotional management of Pencak Silat athletes. The findings confirm that psychological aspects, particularly growth mindset, play an important role in managing anxiety and supporting athletes’ performance in the training or competition arena.

Abstract

Not a few athletes experience stress during training or competing, which can happen to male and female athletes who are influenced by internal or external factors. However, each athlete has a different way of dealing with stress to get out of the existing pressure. This study aims to analyze how gender differences can affect the cognitive appraisal process of archery athletes in dealing with stress. The quantitative descriptive method with an ex-post facto research approach was used in this study involving 23 archery athletes from Bandung City. The instruments used in the study were the Cognitive Appraisal Rating Scale (CARS) questionnaire and the Brief-COPE Inventory Scale, which were given once to respondents. After the data was obtained, data analysis was carried out using the SPSS Version 29 linear regression test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant influence of cognitive appraisal on stress coping as a management strategy based on gender differences in archery athletes. This study concludes that cognitive appraisal has a significant influence on stress coping based on gender differences between men and women in archery athletes from Bandung City. So the author suggests paying more attention to the athlete's stress condition by conducting Psychological Skills Training (PST) if the athlete is already showing signs of stress.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of slice service training on the accuracy of tennis service strokes. Slice service is a technique that produces a lateral spin, creating a curved ball trajectory that is difficult to anticipate and return, especially for intermediate players. Despite its tactical advantages, this technique is rarely given specific attention in tennis training programs. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach involving 16 athletes from Caringin Tennis Club aged 18–23 years. The instrument used was the validated Hewitt's Tennis Achievement Test. The results showed a significant increase in service accuracy, with the mean score rising from 17.88 (pretest) to 44.00 (posttest). Paired sample t-test analysis confirmed a statistically significant improvement (p = 0.000). The data met the assumption of normality based on the Shapiro-Wilk test. These findings indicate that structured slice service training effectively improves stroke precision, motor coordination, and confidence during service execution. The study supports the importance of integrating specific technique-based training in tennis coaching, especially during the skill development phase.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of diamond passing drills on improving short passing and stopping skills in 10-11 year old soccer players. Short passing and stopping techniques are very important in maintaining smooth gameplay and effective team strategy. The study used an experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 20 students from SSB Roksi as samples. The treatment, which consisted of diamond passing training, was given for four weeks with a frequency of three times per week. Skill data were measured before and after the treatment using a standardized instrument. Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed an increase in the average score for short passing stopping skills from 9.25 in the pre-test to 15.10 in the post-test. The t-test showed a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means that there was a significant improvement in ability after diamond passing training. The conclusion of the study states that the diamond passing training method is effective in improving short passing stopping skills in young athletes. This study recommends that coaches implement this method in basic soccer technique training programs for 10-11 year olds.
