Abstract

In competitive sports, it is very important to have both physical and psychological capacity. Especially when it is a close match with the opponent, the player's ability to adapt and adjust is often the key factor affecting the victory or defeat. In recent years, the concept and theory of " resilience" have been put forward in the field of psychology, and the core concept of mental resilience is to describe the ability of individuals to adapt and adjust. This paper will present the definition and measurement of resilience and the findings of past empirical studies. In the end, this paper illustrates the possible effects of mental resilience on athletes' cognition, emotion and behavior in competitive sports in order to provide some Suggestions for future research and application of mental resilience in sports psychology.
