Abstract: Mindset and self-talk are important psychological factors that influence athletic performance. An athlete can transform their game by changing their mindset, which will ultimately boost their sporting career. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a growth mindset and self-talk on an athlete’s confidence and performance.
