“…Similarly, Besharat and Pourbohlool [11] asserted that athletes' with higher levels of self-efficacy were more likely to be able to cope with emotional arousal than those with low levels of self-efficacy. Regardless of these positive forces, sport can be stressful because of high self-expectations, pressure from others, competition outcomes, and injury [13]. Young people are often ill equipped to deal with many of sports' challenges, which has increased interest in resilience and its impact on successful performance [14].…”

Sport presents an opportunity for young people to experience the joys of success and cope with setbacks to develop resilient behaviours. However, there is a lack of clarity about how sport can cultivate resilience, particularly within a female youth gymnastics context. The purpose of this study was to investigate gymnast and coach perceptions about the development of resilience through gymnastics participation. Underpinned by a qualitative framework, 22 female gymnasts and seven gymnastics coaches participated in semi-structured interviews. Data analysis revealed that aspects of the gymnastics environment created stress and exposed gymnasts to many challenges in training and competition. Features of the sport environment, such as interpersonal relationships and positive coach behaviours, supported gymnasts through these challenges and encouraged them to overcome failure. Gymnastics participation was perceived to develop resilience, as well as life skills, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. The findings support the notion that youth sport may be an appropriate avenue for the development of resilience and have implications for future coaching practice.

“…No matter that it was not a good day or the athletes lacked of preparation and they just showed their nerves incidentally (Rykert et al, 2017). Shortly, athletes became overload and rapidly restored their focus on achieving the best performance (Gilbert et al, 2007). For the better anticipation, Nassib et al (2019) agreed that one of the physiological changes carried on muscles' stress into the body kinesthesis.…”

“…That can be a determinant to the psychological well-being of athletes because the finding implies that an inclusive team atmosphere created by the coach and team members could lower stress, especially for those with moderate academic anxiety. In this regard, Gilbert, Gilbert, and Morawski (2007) suggested using positive language and attitude when addressing the team. Well-developed communication skills used by a coach may be a key to alleviating pressure and stress that student athletes feel (Sullivan & Feltz, 2003).…”

Collegiate student athletes face psychological stressors in adjusting to campus life. This study used preexisting, nationally representative data administered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for student athletes in 2010 to explore the conjunctive relationships among demographics, personal characteristics, social contexts, and physical condition in predicting perceived stress. The number of valid samples was 19,967 from 609 member institutions. A data mining methodology (i.e., SEARCH) was applied to model the distribution of the perceived stress. Results showed that significant stressors included the variables related to academics, physical well-being, and social contexts. Academic anxiety was the most important predictor, and its interactions with abusive coaching behavior and an inclusive team environment were shown to reduce perceived stress. Sufficient sleep was also found as a moderator in the positive relationship between perceived stress and academic anxiety.
