Nishimura et al.: Survey Responses from University Athletes on Goals and Performance

411 survey responses from university athletes collected within a 12-month period, assessing achievement goals, perceived pressure, and psychological, physiological, and behavioral states experienced during their most recent competitive match. The dataset was curated by Taku Oshima, with 349 responses retained for analysis after quality filtering. It was last updated on May 12, 2026, and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between achievement goals and perceived pressure based on survey items.
• Modeling the impact of psychological and physiological states on self-reported performance.
• Studying data quality and response patterns in athlete surveys based on the described exclusion criteria.

Strengths

• 411 total survey responses provide a foundation for analysis.
• 349 responses were included after a defined quality control process (exclusion of 62 responses with identical answer patterns).
• Data collection was approved by an institutional ethics committee and participants provided informed consent.
• All data were anonymized prior to public release.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the final analysis subset (349) is known, but the total usable row count in the XLSX file is unknown.
• The 93.2 KB file size indicates a limited scope and number of variables.
