Athlete performance is determined not only by physical and technical abilities, but also by psychological factors that influence mental readiness during competition. This study aims to analyze the influence of anxiety, self-confidence, and motivation on the performance of East Java Kabaddi athletes in the 2025 Provincial Sports Week (Porprov). The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sample consisted of 96 athletes selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used included the Sport Anxiety Scale-2, Self-Confidence Scale, Sport Motivation Scale-6, and Sport Performance Perceptions Scale. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression using SPSS. The results showed that anxiety, self-confidence, and motivation simultaneously had a significant effect on athlete performance (F = 8.062; p < 0.05) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.208. However, partial anxiety (p = 0.189) and motivation (p = 0.136) did not have a significant effect, while self-confidence had the most dominant positive effect (β = 0.503; p = 0.076). These findings confirm that self-confidence is a key psychological factor supporting emotional stability and effective decision-making during competition. In conclusion, strengthening self-confidence through mental conditioning programs such as visualisation and positive self-talk should be a priority in the development of Kabaddi athletes. A psychological approach integrated with physical and tactical training is expected to improve optimal performance at higher levels of competition.
