The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between athletic identity, sportconfidence and injury. Participants included injured {n = 16) and noninjured (n = 59) collegiate student-athletes. Participants completed a demographics questionnaire, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS; Brewer, Van Raalte, & Linder, 1993), and the Trait Sport-Confidence Inventory (TSCI; Vealey, 1986). Injury information was collected from team athletic trainers. A baseline correlation was conducted to assess the relationship between athletic identity and trait sport-confidence. A moderation analysis of injury was conducted on the relationship between Athletic Identity and Trait Sport- Confidence. No significant linear relationship (r = .07; p > .05) was found between Athletic Identity and Trait Sport- Confidence at pretest; Injury was not a significant moderator (p > .05). Sport psychology consultants and athletic trainers may focus on strengthening sportconfidence for injured athletes as they recover and return to play.
