Tolerancia al Estrés y el Microsistema de un Deportista de Alto Rendimiento

Abstract

This research delves into the importance of psychological factors in the field of high-performance sports, particularly focusing on understanding how athletes cope with normative and non-normative stressors. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks from psychology and sports science, the study aims to explore the multidimensional nature of stress and its impact on athletes' performance and well-being. By investigating stress coping strategies within the microsystem of high-performance athletes, including familial and social influences, the research seeks to identify factors contributing to stress tolerance and resilience. Through this qualitative research, the experience of a high-performance athlete, their coach, and parent in relation to stress tolerance in the sports context is examined, highlighting the importance of understanding underlying motivations and values. An interpretative approach is employed, considering the interaction between individuals and their environment. Thus, the intricate relationship between competition, social pressure, and mind-body connection in elite athletes is described, emphasizing stress tolerance as a balance between expectations and support, crucial for their mental and emotional health, while competitive and social pressure requires effective stress management strategies.
