Abstract

The resilience construct, as the ability to cope with and adapt positively to incredibly stressful situations, has been studied for more than 60 years, but it seems that only in the last few decades has it been the subject of substantive research, especially with interest in the psychology of sport and exercise. From there, the vision of related works to collect all this added information is born. This research was based on  a descriptive study and assumed a non-experimental design;  the purpose is to study how sport is configured as a resistance mechanism of athletes with disabilities, which is presented in 12 athletes with disabilities, made up of the following sports categories: K21, K22, K23, K11, K12, Deaf, (intellectual, visual and deaf). The results obtained demonstrated the behavior in relation to perseverance and adaptation, clear approaches to sports resilience by these athletes. With sports resilience being an essential skill for any athlete who wants to reach the top of high-competition sports, using techniques such as visualization, self-discipline, adaptability and social support, athletes can develop their ability to overcome adversity.
