This study aimed to examine anxiety and motivation levels among soccer athletes during joint training sessions. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, involving 24 active soccer athletes selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire measuring intrinsic and extrinsic dimensions of anxiety and motivation. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to summarize the data. The results revealed that athletes experienced moderate levels of anxiety, while their overall motivation was categorized as high. These findings indicate that joint training environments impose psychological pressure on athletes; however, strong motivation particularly intrinsic motivation supports sustained engagement and training commitment. The coexistence of moderate anxiety and high motivation suggests a functional psychological state that may facilitate performance development when properly managed. The study highlights the importance of integrating psychological considerations into soccer training programs to optimize athlete performance and well-being.
