Sport Confidence Inventory (SCI)
The SCI is a 13-item questionnaire measuring general, trait-level confidence in sport ability—the athlete's habitual belief in their capability to execute skills and perform well in their sport. Developed by Vealey in 1986, the SCI is one of the most widely used instruments for assessing athlete self-confidence and predicting competitive success and psychological wellbeing.
