This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the knowledge and mental responses of sports injuries among participants of student’s football team in Universitas Pendidkan Ganesha. This research used quantitative method, using questionnaires, observation, and interview with 78 samples. The t-test was used to determine the association between knowledge and mental responses of sport injuries. Results indicated that majority of the students of football players who had poor mental stability with low level of knowledge in sport injury had the highest risk of incidence of injuries. This implies that knowledge and mental toughness can be used as one of the psychological predictors of injuries. It is recommended that athletes, coaches, managers, and officials attend collaboration programs to evaluate mental and physical sport injury problems of athletes.
