Study Objectives: The purpose of this research was to determine whether the hope levels of individuals engaged in active sports predict athletic mental energy or not. A total of 236 participants (80 women and 156 men; M-age = 21.15 +/- 1.98 years), who study at the Faculty of Sport Sciences at Akdeniz University and continue their active sports careers included in this study. Methods: The relational screening method was used to examine the relationships between variables. As data collection tools, "dispositional hope scale" and "athletic mental energy scale" were used. In the statistical analysis, a stepwise regression analysis was performed to examine the relationships between two variables and to determine the correlation coefficient and the power of the dependent variable in predicting the independent variable. Results: As a result of the analyses, a moderate relationship was determined between athletic mental energy and alternative ways thinking. It was found that there was a moderate relationship between athletic mental energy and actuating thinking dimension, dispositional hope total score. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that the actuating thought sub-dimension significantly predicted athletic mental energy, and the explained common variance was 29%. As a result, actuating thinking was found to be a predictor of athletic mental energy.
