    This research investigated the sport experiences as predictor of pre-competitive anxiety in Brazilian dual-career athletes. Participants were 135 male (n = 120) and female (n = 15) athletes, with a mean age of 23.43 years (SD = 9.77), who competed at the following sports: indoor soccer (n = 39), handball (n = 15), volleyball (n = 24), basketball (n = 41), and table tennis (n = 16). These participants completed the University Sport Experiences Scale -Portuguese version (USES-BR) and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R), which assess perceptions of sport experiences and pre-competitive anxiety, respectively. Data analysis was conducted through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression (p<0.05). The results showed that initiative presented a positive prediction on self-confidence (β = 0.34), while the domains of interpersonal relationships (β = 0.27 and β = 0.31) and social exclusion (β = 0.28 and β = 0.29) presented a positive prediction on somatic and cognitive anxiety. It was concluded that positive experiences (initiative) seem to act as a source of self-confidence, while positive (interpersonal relationships) and negative (social exclusion) experiences seem to promote cognitive and somatic anxiety
