THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAM ON NETBALL SHOOTING PERFORMANCE
Open accessAbstract
The study was aimed to investigate the effect of Psychological Skills Training Program on netball shooting performance. The experimental method was used on three groups of an 8-week intervention: combination of diaphragmatic breathing and imagery, plus physical practice (G1); combination of DB and self-talk, plus physical practice (G2); and control group which have physical practice only (G3). A SPANOVA was conducted to assess the impact of all groups on shooting performance across the two time periods. The main effect comparing the two treatments and a control group was significant, p < .001. Post hoc Tukey test differ significantly at p < .05. However, the G2 was not significantly different from the G3. The results indicated that netballers of different skill used of PST, either G1 or G2 were found to improve the netball shooting performance. It was also showed that G1 has better netball shooting performance rather than G2 and G3. As to highlighting, that the principles and practical applications of these most basic psychological skills can be taught in easier ways and probably in a relative short period of time among youth athletes.

By increasing awareness of muscle tension and learning to release it, athletes cultivate a state of calm that reduces cognitive anxiety, allowing better coping with stressful or pressure-filled situations.
“By increasing awareness of muscle tension and learning to release it, athletes cultivate a state of calm that reduces cognitive anxiety, allowing better coping with stressful or pressure-filled situations [101, 106, 107].”
From The Effect of Different Psychological Interventions on Athletes' Competitive Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis. (2026) · cites this paper as [106]
The Introduction says relaxation can help athletes with anxiety, and the Conclusion suggests breathing techniques may help them overcome stress and become calmer. The paper does not describe increasing awareness of muscle tension and releasing it, or establish a reduction in cognitive anxiety through that mechanism. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
