In this paper, we explore the relationship between the psychological capital, sport anxiety, and sport performance of collegiate judo athletes. The research object is the collegiate first-division judo athletes in Taiwan. Convenience sampling was used to conduct an online survey. A total of 106 questionnaires were issued, 102 valid questionnaires were returned, and the effective response rate was 96.23%. The data were analyzed by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). The psychological capital of collegiate judo athletes has a significant positive impact on sport performance; moreover, the sport anxiety of collegiate judo athletes has a significant negative impact on psychological capital. Through psychological capital, sport performance can be improved. Therefore, psychological capital has an intermediary effect. This study shows the higher the level of mental capital of collegiate judo athletes, the better the positive impact on sport performance; in addition, the higher the sport anxiety, the lower the psychological capital. However, sport anxiety can improve sport performance through psychological capital; therefore, we recommend that the training plan of collegiate judo athletes focus on strengthening the athletes' mental skills to improve their sport performance.
