Posttest design. The instrument used is confidence questionnaire and archery score result test. The
research subject is nine archery athletes of student activity unit in UNNES. Data analysis technique uses
regression test and paired sample t-test. The result of regression test, the value (sig) 0,009 < 0,05 and the
paired sample t test archery score results is t count 2,573 > t table 1,860 with significant level 0,033 <
(0,05). As for the self confidence data the value t count 4,203 > t table 1,860 with significant level is 0,003
< 0,05. Based on calculation, it is concluded that 1) there is an effect of visualization exercises on athlete
