Resumen: | The predictive quality of psychological skills in relation to sports and more specifically track and field athletes continues to be explored. Purpose: To profile psychological adaptations in Jamaican male sprinters and to assess the differences between elite and sub-elite athletes. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 30 male participants who were grouped based on previous athletic achievement into the elite group and sub-elite group. Following a simulated competitive run; the athletes completed the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 and the Mental Toughness Questionnaire-48. Results: The elite athletes exhibited greater mental toughness than the sub-elite group and coping skills were a significant predictor of mental toughness. Conclusion: Assessment of psychological skills may distinguish elite from sub-elite athletes. |
