There is need to improve self-efficacy to improve their performance and increase confidence to participate in the sports actively. For the completion of this research work, a survey was collected from female field hockey players. They highly encouraged that self-efficacy is the most important determinant to improve their performance of female hockey players, further encouraged them to participate actively. The regression analysis concluded that there is positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and performance of female hockey players in Pakistan.
