Exploring the Correlation between Motivation A 143
INTRODUCTION
Self-confidence is an individual's positive attitude that enables him to develop a positive assessment, both towards himself and the environment or situation he is facing, confidence can improve athletes' motivation and performance, as well as reduce anxiety and stress that arise before Before competing, an athlete must have strong confidence or mental readiness to be able to face the match well (Falaahudin et al.
, 2.
Confidence also has a great influence on the final result of the match.
Hockey is a sport that originated in Ancient Persia and Ancient Egypt.
Hockey is a game that uses a bent or curved stick called a stick and uses a ball, sport not only provides physical benefits, but also has a significant psychological impact on athletes (Latifah et al.
, 2.
One of the important aspects that affects an athlete's performance is selfconfidence, therefore, the mental readiness of an athlete is needed when facing a match, this mental readiness can be in the form of confidence (Falaahudin et al.
, 2.
, the things that make confidence increase are the presence of motivation or support from the surroundings (Dunan & Sulistiandari, 2.
Athlete motivation is the desire, desire, will, and drive to be able to outperform the achievements that he has achieved himself or the achievements achieved by other athletes, the motivation you get can come from words of encouragement from your family, encouragement from coaches, and support from the team, the motivation given can make the performance of the athletes more optimal, however, there are several factors that cause a decrease or increase in an athlete's confidence (Dunan & Sulistiandari, 2.
One of them is anxiety.
Anxiety is the right reaction to something that is considered threatening, but anxiety becomes unnatural if the reaction and appearance are not appropriate, both in intensity and level of symptoms (Nugraha, 2.
Anxiety is an emotional state that can cause feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness (Zundel et al.
, 2.
Anxiety is an unpleasant condition experienced by individuals that affects their physical state (Savitri et al.
, 2.
Anxiety is a negative emotion that is characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety and is accompanied by increased changes in network systems (Mufidah & Widiyawati, 2.
Match anxiety is a state of stress experienced by an athlete, which is a negative emotional condition that increases in line with how an athlete interprets and assesses the match situation (Setiawati et al.
, 2.
A person who is experiencing anxiety can experience loss of concentration and less than optimal in doing something (Nugraha, 2.
However, excessive anxiety will cause a reaction that pushes towards negativity, namely stress that can further disturb the athletes' ongoing psyche.
Self-confidence is a person's mental attitude in assessing himself and the surrounding objects so that the person has confidence or his ability to be able to do something according to his ability (Azmi et al.
, 2.
Self-confidence is a positive belief and awareness of one's own abilities and worth (Rahayu.
Stress is an individual's state of mind when the individual responds physiologically and psychologically to conflict with the state and system of individual biological, psychological, and social resources, as well as to changes that demand selfadaptation that make physical and mental disorders appear (Adelia et al.
, 2.
Stress is negative stress, which gives the effect of pressing feeling burdened, uncomfortable, and so ondiscomfort, and so on (Marsidi, 2.
The level of anxiety and stress of each athlete is different because everyone is different in coping with it.
This results in athletes having a higher risk of experiencing both physical and mental problems (Putra, 2.

DISCUSSION
The Correlation of motivation and confidence In general, motivation is an important psychological factor and is often associated with athletes' involvement in sports.
Motivation can provide encouragement to do something, whether it is intrinsic .
rom withi.
or extrinsic .
rom outsid.
Intrinsic motivation is from within the individual himself to carry out activities that are permanent, independent, and stable because the impulse comes from within, the person's is from outside the individual to carry out sports activities.
It is temporary, dependent, and unstable in nature (Komarudin, 2.
Obtained from Table 4.
Motivation events in hockey athletes before the competition, there were 44 .
3%) athletes who experienced very good motivation and 16 .
athletes with good motivation levels.
Motivation has a significant correlation with self-confidence as evidenced by the results of the study in table 6 obtained a correlation test result of 0.
-value < This proves that there is a significant correlation between motivation and confidence of hockey athletes before competition.
This study is in line with (Irfandi & Rahmat, 2.
who said that motivation is very influential on athletes.
The Correlation of anxiety and confidence Anxiety is a feeling of unease, confusion, tension and worry in certain circumstances.
Anxiety is an unpleasant emotion, such as feeling uncomfortable, chaotic, anxious and characterized by worry, concern, and fear that is sometimes experienced in different levels and situations (Zekha et al.
, 2.
Anxiety is a subjective feeling that is difficult to understand caused by sufferers "The term Anxiety is a subjective feeling in the form of worry and increases psychological tension (Hardiyono, 2.
Obtained from Table 4.
The incidence of anxiety in hockey athletes before competition was 19 .
7%) athletes who experienced normal level of anxiety, 25 .
athletes with mild level of anxiety, 11 .
athletes with moderate level of anxiety, 3 .
%) athletes with severe level of anxiety, and 2 .
athletes with very severe level of anxiety.
Anxiety showed a significant correlation with selfconfidence, as evidenced by table 7, where the correlation test showed a value of 0.
-value < This proves that there is a significant correlation between anxiety and confidence of hockey athletes before competition.
In a match, anxiety before competition is a natural thing experienced by athletes.
This statement is in line with research which states that there is a significant correlation between anxiety levels and athlete confidence (Purnamasari & Novian, 2.
Therefore, the higher the athlete's confidence level, the lower the level of anxiety the athlete will have, and vice versa.
Therefore, it is very necessary to pay special attention in the form of analyzing these conditions in athletes, especially Western athletes so that they can be handled and regulated properly.
Because we all know that athletes' achievements are the cumulative result of various aspects, especially the psychological aspect (Novian & Noors, 2.

stress, and confidence of hockey athletes before The Correlation of stress and confidence Stress is a person's response to a dangerous change in a situation (Musfarah, 2.
Therefore, the heavier the physical activity, the more it will affect the level of stress due to fatigue, especially for athletes (Juwariyah et al.
, 2.
Stress is an active coping disorder, and seeking socialemotional support (Purnama et al.
, 2.
Stress is something that feels pressing in the individual (Umjani, 2.
In this context, there are individuals, namely athletes who strive to reach the peak of achievement.
With effective stress and confidence, athletes can achieve maximum achievement and reach the top of their careers.

athletes who experienced normal levels of stress, 36 .
%) athletes with mild levels of stress, 4 .
athletes with moderate stress levels, 2 .
athletes with severe stress levels, and 1 .
athletes with very severe stress levels.
Stress has a significant correlation with self-confidence, as shown in table 8, where the correlation test shows a value of 0.
-value < 0.
This proves that there is a significant correlation between stress and confidence of hockey athletes before competition.
This study also explains that stress and selfconfidence have an important role and have a positive impact on improving sports performance in The results showed a significance value of stress and self-confidence of 0.
-value < 0.
so it can be concluded that stress and selfconfidence together do have a positive effect (Noerfitri & Oktantia, 2.
