Abstract
Anxiety is defined as a personal emotional and behavioral response to some unpleasant events, where the level of anxiety negatively affects a person's behavior and actions. Anxiety is said to be the nervous and psychological pressure caused by internal and external factors that disrupts a person's balance for some time and may cause disturbances and limitations in the normal process of physiological reactions and daily activities. Regardless of the level of competition, type of discipline and gender, sports are practiced in a psychologically, physically and emotionally stressful environment, and if athletes cannot balance the athletic, personal and social aspects of their lives, they may suffer from psychological problems and athletic incompetence.
