In Indonesia, rugby has several competition categories. Rugby is a team sport played between two sides. It is a game full of tactics, in which various patterns of play are carefully designed. Although players with high skill levels may dominate in certain situations, every player is still required to work together with teammates to create a solid game and achieve the desired goals. Athletes must prepare four essential aspects when facing a championship: technical, tactical, physical, and mental. The psychological aspects that must be considered in athletes are motivation and self-confidence.The purpose of this study is to determine the level of motivation and self-confidence of the male athletes of the Unesa Rugby 7s Student Activity Unit (UKM Rugby 7s Unesa). This research used a quantitative descriptive method with data collected through a closed questionnaire adopted from Arieputra’s (2018) study, which has been validated by an expert lecturer in sports psychology.The research subjects were 15 male athletes from the Unesa Rugby 7s team who were preparing for a friendly match, with the sample selected using purposive sampling. The results showed that the level of motivation (33.3%) was in the “moderate” category, while the level of self-confidence (46.7%) was also in the “moderate” category. The conclusion of this study is that the levels of motivation and self-confidence of the male athletes of the Unesa Rugby 7s team before the friendly match against the East Java rugby team were in the “moderate” categoryparticipant performance. Certain leadership styles, such as transformational leadership, can have a positive impact on student satisfaction and engagement while minimizing feelings of boredom
