Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap kemahiran mental dalam kalangan atlet pelajar sekolah. Kajian dilakukan secara tinjauan terhadap 24 pemain boling ten-pin yang mewakili negeri Perak dalam kejohanan Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia 2018. Soal selidik Sport Personality Questionnaire (SPQ20) digunakan bagi mengukur 20 dimensi kemahiran mental yang terdiri daripada empat domain utama iaitu pencapaian dan persaingan, keyakinan dan resilien, interaksi dan semangat kesukanan, serta kuasa dan keagresifan. SPQ20 juga menentukan kecenderungan atlet terhadap matrik kemahiran mental dan potensi kepimpinan. Analisis deskriptif adalah berdasarkan pendekatan sistem RAG (Red, Amber, Green) Traffic Light. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan keseluruhan domain kemahiran mental berada pada tahap kuning (sederhana). Berdasarkan matrik kemahiran mental, paling ramai atlet berada dalam golongan confident achiever (54.2%). Berdasarkan matrik potensi kepimpinan pula, paling ramai atlet berada dalam golongan democratic captain (33.3%). Kajian ini menggambarkan kepentingan menilai tahap kemahiran mental atlet, cara penggunaan alat ukur yang bersesuaian bagi mendapatkan maklumat berkaitan tahap kemahiran mental, dan cara pelaporan dapatan kajian bagi tujuan penambahbaikan aspek kejurulatihan.
