The current research investigated the relationship between psychological skills and performance efficacy in team sports i.e. hockey players and cricketers. It also explored the moderating role of coaching competence between psychological skills and performance efficacy. It was a correlational research with a cross-sectional research design employing 518 players (N=518, n=261 hockey players, and n=257 cricketers) collected via purposive sampling. The assessment measures included Psychological Skills Scale for Team Sports (Solomon, Malik & Kausar, 2019), Coaching Competency Scale (Moen & Federici, 2012), Youth Sports Value Questionnaire-2 (Lee, Whitehead, & Ntoumanis, 2007), and Collective Efficacy for Sports Questionnaire (Short, Sullivan, & Feltz, 2005). After data screening, assessment of parametric distribution and accuracy of the sample; and determining the psychometric properties of the research tools, the results revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between psychological skills, coaching competence, and performance efficacy both in hockey players and cricketers. For cricketers, coaching competence significantly negatively moderated the relationship between psycho-performance and performance efficacy, however, coaching competence moderated perceived psychological support, psycho-competitiveness, and performance efficacy. This research will work as empirical proof for Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) to conduct psychological skills training for cricketers and hockey players for the enhancement of their performance efficacy.
