Description
This paper examines the mental toughness and coping skills in college athletes, which are measured by The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ASCI-28) questionnaire. The ASCI-28 is designed to gauge mental toughness and coping skills in athletes in seven crucial areas. These areas can impact performance, for example, handling setbacks, thriving under pressure, and staying focused. The survey will be sent out to all 500+ of the Liberty University student-athletes through email. This tool is simply a psychological assessment, meaning that it can help observe the crucial “mind game” side of sports. It is helpful because it can show not only the strengths of each person but also the weaknesses and areas where they need extra help. This topic is important because, in today’s society, mental health and well-being are an increasing focus. This paper will also look into important connections between individual success in sports and mental strength to see if there is any correlation. The purpose of this research is to inventory the athletic coping skills of Liberty University student-athletes to better understand how they prepare for and practice their “mental game.” Through responses from student-athletes, we will be able to share information that can help student-athletes who struggle with their mental well-being.
