Revitalizing Mental Readiness: Mindsport Navigator Application (Minna) to Strive for the Best Performance of Undiksha FC

Abstract

This study aims to develop the Mindsport Navigator Application (MINNA) as a digital tool to systematically assess and enhance the mental readiness of Undiksha FC athletes. The research was conducted using a development model adapted from Borg and Gall, consisting of ten stages including product design, expert validation, small group trials, large group trials, and final product refinement. The MINNA application integrates three psychological measurement instruments: the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT), Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The results from 60 athletes show that anxiety and stress levels fall into the moderate category, while burnout levels indicate no significant signs of emotional exhaustion. Descriptive analysis reveals varying levels of anxiety and stress, but relatively stable burnout conditions. Correlation analysis indicates a significant positive relationship between anxiety and stress, whereas burnout shows no significant relationship with either variable. Overall, the MINNA application effectively provides personalized psychological assessments and coping recommendations, making it a useful tool for continuous mental monitoring and for supporting optimal athletic performance. The application demonstrates strong potential to be integrated into training programs to maintain athletes’ psychological well-being and enhance performance outcomes.
