“…Since the first article published by Bandura on self-efficacy in 1977 within the framework of social cognitive theory, there has been great acceptance of this construct in different contexts, including the sport context. Specifically, although the self-efficacy construct was proposed by Bandura (1977) to address the treatment of anxiety in clinical psychology, selfefficacy has been an important research topic in the sport context (Balaguer, Escarti, & Villamarín, 1995;Machado, Paes, Berbetz, & Stefanello, 2014) with athletes from different competitive levels and modalities, such as freediving (Baretta, Greco, & Steca, 2017), taekwondo (Estevan, Álvarez, & Castillo, 2016), basketball (Lázaro & Villamarín, 1993; Olmedilla, Sainz de Baranda, & Gómez, 2009;Ortega, Olmedilla, & Cárdenas, 2007), golf (Irazusta & Arruza, 2006;Rodriguez, López, Gómez, & Rodríguez, 2015), tennis (Gónzalez, 2017), and football (García-Naveira, 2018;Leo, García-Calvo, Sanchez-Miguel, & Parejo, 2008; Leo, García-Calvo, Sánchez-Miguel, & de la Vega, 2011).…”
