Psychological resilience is an important construct that can enhance athletic performance and foster valuable life skills. Through positive adaptation to adversity and stressors in the athletic arena, athletes are able to cultivate their ability to effectively respond to negative stimuli, ultimately evolving to personal growth. For young female athletes, development of resilience may be particularly important. Young female athletes face distinct challenges in sport including sport inequity, body image issues, eating disorders, increased mental distress, and internalization of emotions. The aim of this review is to define and describe the construct of resilience and discuss the implications and applications relevant to young female athletes. By understanding how to foster resilience strategies in this population, we can enhance sport performance and enjoyment, as well as bolster valuable life skills that facilitate personal growth.

resilience is described as a positive adaptation despite the presence of, or to bounce back from, risk or adversity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mental skills intervention in improving resilience of adolescent athletes in a badminton club. Ten athletes were sampled in a field one-group pre-test post-test quasi experiment case study. Treatment implemented was mental skills intervention-comprising of individual counselling and group capacity builiding on goal setting, mental imagery and self-talk. Data analysis was done with Wilcoxon signed rank test (P<.05). This study shows a significant increase on resilience. This case study shows that mental skills intervention can improve resilience. Thus, it is useful to build the capacity of athletes' mental skills. It is recommended to implement this intervention in routine trainings.
