Downloads
This article analyzes the socio-psychological factors in overcoming stress and anxiety in athletes. Modern sport requires not only high
physical fitness but also psychological stability. Mental tension, excessive anxiety, and stress that occur before and during competitions
directly affect athletes' performance. The article covers the causes of stress and anxiety, their impact on sports activities, and ways to
overcome these conditions through socio-psychological factors such as team environment, coach-athlete relationships, social support, and
family environment. The relationship between individual psychological characteristics of athletes and their ability to cope with stress is
also analyzed. The article concludes with practical recommendations for sports psychologists, coaches, and athletes.
