“…Sport-specific research on personal antecedents of organic self-talk has shown that achievement goal orientations [19][20][21], autonomous/controlled motivation [10], belief in self-talk [22], and global personality traits such as self-concept [23] and trait anxiety [14] are related to athletes' organic self-talk.
