Abstract
Anxiety is a psychological element that significantly affects athlete performance, so futsal coaches must pay attention to the anxiety level of the players, especially before the match. However, the coach^s efforts to assess the anxiety of futsal players before the match starts are very limited because there is no instrument available to measure anxiety before the game that is valid and reliable. This study aims to develop a futsal player anxiety instrument before the match. This study used futsal players as test subjects. This study used eight experts: four theoretical experts and four practitioner experts. Three indicators: cognitive indicators (3 statements), bodily indicators (3 statements), and emotional indicators (5 statements) were used to design the instrument. Aiken-V and Pearson correlation were the analyses used to check the validity of the content and the construct, respectively. The analysis used was Aiken-V to test content validity and Pearson correlation to test construct validity. To test reliability, the formula of Cronbach^s alpha was used. The content validity, construct validity, and overall reliability findings showed that 11 statements met the criteria of validity and reliability.
