Abstract

Conventional medicine has looked back the self-health care beyond medicine intake. Since, previous research reported a stress management with a mental training program resulting in that human’s physical biochemical is produced for self-healing (Kermani, 1992). In sports, athletes are those player who are stronger and more physically fit than ordinary people, nevertheless, their psychological part among before, during and after an important match can be naturally weak by the competitive situation (Bhasavanija, & Morris, 2013). Mental training was used for four functions; a cognitive or motivational function, and a general or specific level (Paivio, 1985). For instance, cognitive imagery use is to mentally perform exercises during injury for rehabilitation, and motivational imagery use is to manage goal setting, mental toughness, concentration, and positive attitude, even pain (Driediger, Hall, & Callow, 2006). Finally, psychological strategies should be used together with physical activities by eligible practitioner to help athletes prevent, rehab, and return to sport (Ford, Ildefonso, Jones, & Arvinen-Barrow, 2017), and related to intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and performance in athletes (Sari, 2015).
