The confident athlete has a strong faith in his ability. The less confident athlete often doubts his ability to show his best performance. To boost confidence, it is necessary to practice by using the right methods; one of them is Life Kinetic exercise. This study aims to examine the differences in the effect of Life Kinetic exercise on improving athletes’ confidence in team and individual sports. The method applied is the experimental method with the pretest-posttest control group design. The population is comprised of male athletes in the Student Sports Activity Unit at one of the universities in Indonesia. The sample comprises active 17-19-year-old male athletes and competition in team and individual sports taken with non-probability sampling technique, resulting in 34 athletes from team sports and 32 athletes participating in individual sports. The samples from two groups of sport were divided into two groups through random assignment in order to obtain two sample groups: experimental and control group. The experimental group is the group which was given treatment in the form of Life Kinetic training for the duration of 11 meetings, twice a week. The data analysis technique used in this study was the MANOVA test. The results showed that there was a difference in the effect of Life Kinetic training on the increase of athletes’ confidence in team and individual sports. © 2019, Drustvo Pedagoga Tjelesne i Zdravstvene Kulture.
