The Role of the Resilience in Coping with Stress in Sports

It is known that some sportsmen manage stress better than others, coping with loss and pressure during competitions and afterwards. After losing a game or a competition, some sportsmen manage to bounce back, rapidly, to a previous state of normal functioning; others delay too much in getting over their loss. We focused on the analyses of the post-competition period of time and the development of the sportsmen in their training and state of mind. For those who cope poorly with loss and defeat in competitions, we consider counseling having a main role in their training as the resilience is consider a process not an individual trait.
