The relationship of imagery use and confidence were examined on forty-eight elite male team sport players in volleyball, basketball and football from Botswana with mean age {M=22.50; 1.32} using Sport Imagery Questionnaire {SIQ} and the Sources of Sport Confidence Questionnaire {SSCQ} The result of the correlation matrix indicated a positive but moderate relationship of perceived imagery use and sport confidence with correlation value ranging from r=.30 to .77. The result further revealed an apparent significant {P<.05} composite effect of the imagery use on the team sport players' sport confidence. The reflection of the dual motivational and cognitive functions of imagery use for the prediction of the team sport players' sport confidence was also revealed in the study.
