Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of motivation and self-confidence of swimming athletes on the results of the 50 meter freestyle. This research is descriptive quantitative with a correlational approach. The sample for this research was selected through purposive sampling, so that the athletes involved were athletes who had won at the provincial level. A total of 32 athletes aged 13 – 17 years, athlete characteristics (mean ± SD), age 16.03±3.6 years, training experience 6.8±7.8 years, competition involvement in 1 year is 2 - 4 times. The instrument uses a questionnaire and a 50 meter swimming test which is then recorded based on the best time. The data shows a normal distribution and the linearity test is carried out through the F test (p-value > 0.05) which explains the influence between motivation and self-confidence and the results of the 50 meter freestyle swimming which are declared linear. Correlation results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between motivation and self-confidence on the results of the 50 meter freestyle swimming 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination shows that the influence of motivation and self-confidence on freestyle swimming results is (R2 = 0.877) or 87.7%. The conclusion is the importance of psychological factors such as motivation and self-confidence in achieving good results in swimming. These results can serve as a guide for coaches and athletes to strengthen motivation and build self-confidence which in turn can improve performance and achieve better results in swimming competitions.
