Abstract

This study explores the lived experiences of collegiate Karatedo athletes in the Philippines who engaged in mental imagery as part of their athletic preparation. Using a narrative inquiry approach, the research investigates how athletes internalize and make sense of visualization techniques, particularly in enhancing performance readiness, confidence, and stress regulation. Data were gathered from in-depth narrative interviews with ten Karatedo athletes from five universities who completed an eight-week structured imagery program. Emerging stories reflect how athletes used imagery as a rehearsal space, a confidence builder, and a mechanism for emotional regulation. The study highlights imagery’s transformative influence on mental preparation, resilience, and identity formation in competitive martial arts. Findings emphasize the need for sport programs to adopt mental training techniques that are personal, reflective, and emotionally empowering.

Studi Purpose- Positive self-talk is a psychological strategy employed to enhance athletic performance and resilience. Method. This mixed-methods study explores the impact of positive self-talk on athletes' success in martial arts disciplines, including arnis, karate, and taekwondo. Quantitative data was collected through surveys administered to collegiate competitive athletes, and qualitative insights were derived from in-depth interviews with seven award winning martial artists. Result and Discussion. The study reveals that athletes using positive self-talk demonstrate statistically significant improvements in focus, motivation, and performance under pressure. Qualitative themes, such as increased confidence and reduced anxiety, complement these findings. These results suggest that structured positive self-talk interventions can optimize competitive outcomes for martial artists.
