A causal comparative study was designed using a convenient sample. The measurement tool was developed by the researcher to record positive and negative statistics achieved within competition. This study involved the use of a preseason and postseason survey to compare with the data recorded throughout the season. Results indicated that the use of certain pre-performance motivational techniques is associated with better athletic performance. Additional research should be continued to determine which pre-performance technique produces the best result for athletes.34 p.en-USCollection may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
