Abstract

Excitement and anxiety are two inseparable factors in the sport of football, these two factors greatly affect the performance of football athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between excitement and anxiety on the performance of soccer athletes. The method in this research is descriptive quantitative with a survey approach. The population in the study amounted to 20 soccer athletes, then all 20 athletes were used as subjects in this study. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The data analysis technique in this research is Product Moment and Multiple Correlation. The results of this study indicate that the relationship between excitement and anxiety on the performance of soccer athletes actually occurs in the athlete's personality, so that researchers can draw the conclusion that these two factors are factors that determine the stability of the performance of soccer athletes in addition to other supporting factors. The limitations in this study are the research subjects that are less varied, the place of research and aspects of athletes that are not studied as a whole. The researchers hope that there are other researchers who can conduct this research on a wider scale with regard to the relationship between excitement and anxiety on the performance of soccer athletes.
