PETTLEP imagery training is a structured mental training technique designed to create a realistic and immersive visualization experience.<br> <strong>Objectives.</strong> This study aims to identify the effect of PETTLEP imagery training on competitive anxiety and self-confidence in badminton athletes.<br> <strong>Methods. </strong>Participants in this study were ninety-five badminton athletes randomly divided into three groups: PETTLEP Imagery, Traditional Imagery, and Control. Each group underwent 16 training sessions for 6 weeks (three times a week). Assessments were conducted using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) and the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>The PETTLEP Imagination group showed the most significant reduction in competitive anxiety (mean reduction in cognitive anxiety from 29.09 to 25.27); somatic anxiety from 29.55 to 24.85; statistical difference test = 62.524, p=0.00) and the highest increase in self-confidence with statistical difference test = 54.427, p=0.00) compared to the Traditional Imagination and Control groups.<br> <strong>Conclusion. </strong>PETTLEP imagery training is more effective than traditional imagery in reducing competitive anxiety and increasing self-confidence in badminton athletes. This training offers a superior psychological preparation strategy for badminton athletes, with potential applications in both training and competition.</div> Badminton-Athlete, Competitive-Anxiety, Imagery, Pettlep, Self-Confidence 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2443-3&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Helmi Akmal Fauzan helmiakmal99@upi.edu 100319475328460017505 0009-0009-9082-5092 Yes Sports Education Study Program, Graduate School, Indonesian University of Education, Bandung, Indonesia Komarudin Komarudin komarudin_pko@upi.edu 100319475328460017506 100319475328460017506 No Sports Education Study Program, Graduate School, Indonesian University of Education, Bandung, Indonesia Herman Subarjah hermansubarjah@upi.edu 100319475328460017507 100319475328460017507 No Sports Education Study Program, Graduate School, Indonesian University of Education, Bandung, Indonesia Wini Hadiyani dontologi@gmail.com 100319475328460017508 100319475328460017508 No Community of Nursing Department, Nursing Faculty, STIKep PPNI West Java, Bandung, Indonesia Dewi Dolifah dewidolifah@gmail.com 100319475328460017509 100319475328460017509 No Community of Nursing Department, Nursing Faculty, Indonesian University of Education, Sumedang, Indonesia
