| description | Life skills in athletes encompass the essential abilities required to handle the demands and challenges encountered in competitive environments. While many studies emphasize task-specific confidence, the broader spectrum of self-efficacy attitudes influencing athletes' lives remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and life skills among young athletes participating in the SUKMA games. Conducted cross-sectionally at a training session in Perak, the study involved 300 young athletes. Data on life skills and sports self-efficacy were collected using validated questionnaires (KOÇAK, 2020; Düz & Açak, 2018). Findings revealed a substantial correlation the between self-efficacy and life skills exhibited by athletes, with robust positive correlations observed between time management and psychological efficacy [r(300)=0.62, p<0.05], professional thought efficacy [r(300)=0.73, p<0.05], personality efficacy [r(300)=0.69, p<0.05]. These elevated self-efficacy levels affirm the athletes' strong psychological state and highlight a significant positive influence on their ability to overcome challenges, set ambitious goals, and maintain persistence despite adversity. Consequently, promoting self-efficacy through interventions addressing both psychological and practical aspects can effectively enhance life skills in athletes. |
