This study aims to analyze the effect of video modeling training (VMT)+verbal encouragement (VE) towards enhancement technical performance (TP), and mental toughness (MT) among novice karate athletes. A true experimental design with a randomized control trial (RCT) was adopted in this study. 54 entry-level athletes were randomly devided group (CG, n = 27, 11.7±0.72 year, 149±2.76 cm, 44.0±2.51 kg, 21.7±0.92 kg/m2), (VMT+VE, 12.3±0.76 150±3.39 44.3±2.30 21.9±0.84 kg/m2). TPT, KPT used measure performance, while MTQ-18 toughness. Based on pre- post-measures CG VMT+VE, study's findings indicated significant differences TP (p < 0.05). In addition, there main effects time 0.05), intervention program interactions × 0.05) variables. The second finding showed changes MT variables between VMT+VE but no change > However, repeated measures ANOVA confirmed that Thus, we confirm involving use an form is effective way increase levels than CG.
