“…They discovered that a task-driven peerMC is more likely to result in positive outcomes for athletes’ motivation and well-being, whereas an ego-driven climate is more likely to result in negative outcomes such as stress and burnout. Similar results were reported by Smith and Ullrich-French [ 16 ]. Therefore, coaches are encouraged to teach their athletes values such as cooperation, effort, mutual assistance, and social support [ 15 , 17 ].…”

Background: Athletes should be distinguished by their capacity to deal with stress effectively. Motivated soccer players will employ stress-coping strategies that are linked to their ability to perform at a high level. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between a player’s specific goal orientation, coping in sports, and the effectiveness of play during competition. Methods: The study enrolled 122 male elite soccer players at the championship level who were between the ages of 16 and 19. All participants completed the Polish version of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, the Polish version of the Coping Inventory for Competitive Sport Questionnaire, the CISS questionnaire, and Szwarc’s observation sheet for evaluating soccer performance. Results: The results showed that the task-based stress-coping mode partially mediated the relationship between task motivation and the observed effectiveness of players in soccer. Conclusion: From an applied perspective, the data on the relationship between selected mental factors and soccer performance point to a possible direction of work for players aspiring to the highest level of performance.

“…17,88 Indeed, positive teammate dynamics and peer acceptance contribute to greater enjoyment of sport and greater self-worth, and peer motivational climate is an important predictor of youth athlete burnout. 110 Whereas there are numerous positive interpersonal effects from peers, EYAs may also experience harmful peer interactions such as bullying and victimization. 86 Sport environments are known to normalize practices such as hazing, which involves team members forcing incoming members to participate in humiliating and often dangerous behaviors to be accepted by the group.…”

“… 86 Sport environments are known to normalize practices such as hazing, which involves team members forcing incoming members to participate in humiliating and often dangerous behaviors to be accepted by the group. 110 In a large study of over 11,000 college athletes, 47% reported experiencing hazing during high school, suggesting such practices are common in youth. 1 Such forms of interpersonal violence from peers are key risk factors for mental ill-health, and remain pervasive in competitive sport environments.…”

“…1 Such forms of interpersonal violence from peers are key risk factors for mental ill-health, and remain pervasive in competitive sport environments. 110 Further, the prevalence and effects of harmful interpersonal interactions may be exacerbated in contemporary youth contexts due to electronic communication and social media. Though research on social media in youth sport contexts is nascent, there is evidence from nonsport research that social media can negatively impact adolescents’ mental health, with cyberbullying playing a relevant predictive role.…”

Context: Participation in sports during youth is typically beneficial for mental health. However, it is unclear whether elite sport contexts contribute to greater risk of psychological distress or disorder. The aims of this paper are to highlight conceptual issues that require resolution in future research and practice, and to examine the key factors that may contribute to the mental health of elite youth athletes (EYAs). Evidence Acquisition: A narrative overview of the literature combined with the clinical and research expertise of the authors. Study Design: Narrative overview. Level of Evidence: Level 5. Results: EYAs experience a range of biopsychosocial developmental changes that interact with mental health in a multitude of ways. In addition, there are various sport-specific factors that contribute to the mental health of EYAs that may become more prominent in elite contexts. These include - but are not limited to - patterns relating to athlete coping and self-relating styles, the nature of peer, parental, and coach relationships, organizational culture and performance pressures, and mental health service provision and accessibility. Conclusion: A range of critical factors across individual, interpersonal, organizational, and societal domains have been shown to contribute to mental health among EYAs. However, this evidence is limited by heterogeneous samples and varied or imprecise terminology regarding what constitutes “youth” and “elite” in sport. Nevertheless, it is clear that EYAs face a range of risks that warrant careful consideration to progress to best practice principles and recommendations for mental health promotion and intervention in elite youth sport. SORT: Level C.
