ROTC athletic events represent a significant step toward holistic youth development, combining sports excellence with military training and civic engagement; thus this study comprehensively determine the self-efficacy and social support of the athletes on sports performance aligned with Bandura Social Cognitive theory and Freeman Social Support theory. The study is a purely quantitative method of research which employed on descriptive-correlational study which is useful in describing the relationship of said variables. The results indicate that these athletes possess strong confidence and motivation, mastery experiences, physiological arousal, vicarious experience is very high where the social support including emotional, informative and tangible support also describe wit very high. The study also found a strong mean, but statistically insignificant because of negative relationship between self-efficacy and social support, highlighting a complex dynamic. Athletes effectively manage stress and stay focused by using relaxation techniques and mental rehearsal, while also improving their skills and emotional control by observing skilled peers and coaches. Coaches provide strong support, but athletes report that parental encouragement during competitions is limited or insufficient.Most athletes feel adequately supported in terms of resources and guidance, though post‑game recovery services are seen as an area needing improvement. To better support these athletes, the study may recommends programs to enhance skill diversity, emotional support, and recovery services, along with larger-scale research. Overall, this study emphasizes the critical role a well-rounded support system plays in nurturing ROTC athletes’ growth, confidence, and success both on and off the field.
