In particular, when faced with demands that can be interpreted as threatening, it is crucial to understand the sport competition at the beginning and during the competitive process to understand the imbalance between the demand and the response perceived by the athlete ( Prieto et al, 2015 ; Baro et al, 2016 ; Jara-Moreno et al, 2020 ; Marholz et al, 2022 ), and to the judgment made both personally and by the immediate environment about their ability to face the competition and the result they may obtain ( Gaetano et al, 2015 ; Gómez et al, 2016 ; Del Bosque, 2019 ; Mayorga et al, 2020 ).
