Effects of sports confidence of college athletes on sports commitment, sports persistence, and performance

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of sports confidence on exercise immersion, exercise persistence, and performance among university Taekwondo athletes, and to analyze the correlations among these variables to provide foundational data for enhancing athletic performance. The study utilized survey responses from 350 athletes registered with the Korea Taekwondo Association across 14 universities between 2023 and 2024. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0, including frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that sports confidence had a significant positive effect on exercise immersion, exercise persistence, and performance. Additionally, both exercise immersion and exercise persistence were found to have significant effects on performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that university Taekwondo coaches develop and apply leadership strategies and training programs aimed at enhancing athletes’ confidence and sustained participation, thereby contributing to improved performance.
