This research explores the often-overlooked psychological factors influencing athletes’ performance in China’s team sports. While physical attributes are recognized contributors to success, this study focuses on the psychological dimensions that shape athlete performance. The investigation considers emotions, self-talk, self-efficacy, spirituality, goal orientation, and motivation as key variables, acknowledging their relevance to sports contexts. Moreover, the study explores how culture moderates the relationship between these psychological factors and performance, recognizing culture as a critical determinant of behaviour. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, this research bridges the gap in sports psychology research specific to China and validates existing theories within the country’s unique cultural context. By shedding light on the psychological dynamics that impact athletes’ success, the study contributes to the broader field of sports science, offering insights for optimizing performance in team sports. Despite resource limitations for sports research in China, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the psychological factors that shape athletes’ achievements
