To evaluate the interrelationships and collective predictive power of psychological skills, coaching competence, nutritional readiness, and athlete well-being on competitive sports performance.
Administered the Structured Biopsychosocial Athlete Performance Questionnaire to collegiate athletes across five institutions during pre-NUGA trials in Nigeria (N=149 valid responses).
Analyzed data using descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regression at a 0.05 significance level.
Biopsychosocial factors demonstrated a significant positive correlation with competitive performance (r = .68, p < .05).
Multiple linear regression indicated that psychological skills, coaching competence, nutritional readiness, and well-being collectively predicted performance (R = .78, R² = .61, F(4, 144) = 56.24, p < .001), accounting for 61% of the total variance with coaching competence serving as the strongest unique predictor.
