Therefore, the present study examines the impact of sports anxiety and imagery on athletes’ performance. Participants comprised 200 athletes from different sports institutes of Sargodha. The score obtained from Sports Anxiety Scale is used to measure sports anxiety. The score obtained from the Warwick-Edinburgh Sports Performance Scale is used to measure the performance of the athletes. The score obtained from Sports Imagery Scale is used to measure sports imagery. Linear regression was applied to test the objective. It was found that 140 participants experienced anxiety (70%), whereas 60 participants did not reveal anxiety (30%). Findings revealed that sports anxiety negatively predicted sports performance, whereas sports imagery positively predicted sports performance.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Education and Social Studies}, author={Akbar, Muhammad and Akhtar, Masud and Riaz, Muhammad Akram and Adeel, Ifraz and Batool, Kishwar and Waqar, Saima}, year={2022}, month={Aug.}, pages={137–142} }
